Message from Stuart Allardice, Economic Development and Tourism Manager for BSC.

Good afternoon.

For those I have not had the pleasure of meeting my name is Stuart Allardice and I am the newish Economic Development and Tourism Manager for BSC.

Each year Tourism NSW offers marketing dollars for events across the state. These can range from $5000.00 up to $30,000.00 depending on the event.

The following message has been received from TNSW : -

As a heads up, please be aware that the Minister for Tourism will shortly be announcing the opening of the Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for regional events to apply for funding under the Regional Flagship Event Program.

If there are any events in your area who you believe would benefit from the Regional Flagship Events Program please forward this information.

Please encourage Event co-ordinators to read through the conditions which are available for download from our corporate website to ensure that their event is eligible for funding.

Expressions of Interest will close at 5pm Friday 23rd July 2010, any EOI’s received after this date will not be accepted.

You can visit the Regional Flagship Event Program page on Tourism NSW’s corporate website at http://corporate.tourism.nsw.gov.au/RegionalFlagshipEvents_p703.aspx

Event co-ordinators can also register their interest in the new Regional Events workshops that we are planning on running from late July early August.

If you know of any event co-ordinators that would like to attend these workshops can you please encourage them to register their interest on the direct link provided on this page.

If you are interested in applying for funding please give me a call and I would be very happy to assist.

C of C could you please pass this information on to your members who may be interested.

Many thanks.

Talk with you soon.

Cheers

Stuart
