Business at the Bar (21 Oct 2026)

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 06:15:00 GMT

Business at The Bar

A Members-Only Hang

No name tags. No guest speakers. No awkward presentations. And absolutely no being trapped in a room while someone explains their five-year business strategy.

This is simply a relaxed catch-up for Forster Tuncurry Business Chamber members.

Come along, grab yourself a drink (from the main bar), have a yarn with other local business owners and professionals, meet a few new faces, and head home whenever you’ve had enough socialising.

Where: Lakes & Ocean Hotel in the Lounge
Cost: Free for Chamber members
Dress code: Whatever you wore to work is fine

There’s no formal program and no agenda. Just drinks, good conversation and the chance to make a few genuine local connections—because sometimes the best business opportunities start with a casual chat at the Hotel.

This one is just for Chamber members. If you’re not a member yet, you’re very welcome to join us at one of our monthly Connect events, which are open to members and non-members.

We’re kicking things off at Lakes and Ocean Hotel from February next year, with the catch-up locked in for the third Wednesday of every month. But this one we’re sneaking in just for shits and giggles before the end of year season gets too busy!

The only thing we haven’t locked in is the name. Keep an eye out for our upcoming poll, where Chamber members can help us choose something cheeky, memorable and preferably not too wanky.

Come for one drink, stay for a few, talk business—or don’t. We’d love to see you there.

If you need info about joining, head on over to our website, and hit Member Sign Up in the menu. Questions? Text Mia on 0421 556 615 (she’s getting too many spam calls, so please text first).

Community Partners Charity Ball supporting RMHC (13 Mar 2027)

Relive the magic of childhood, celebrate with friends and support families in need—all in one unforgettable evening.

For 20 years, Ronald McDonald House Northern NSW's Family Retreat in Forster has been creating moments of hope for families during some of life's toughest times. Nestled beside Wallis Lake, the retreat gives families with a seriously ill child—or those grieving the loss of a child—the opportunity to pause, reconnect and make precious memories together. This year, we celebrate two decades of compassion, community and keeping families close.
