Dear members and friends of Old Bar Manning Point Business & Community Association,
The time has come to decide the future of our Association. A belated 2025 Annual General Meeting will be held at Club Old Bar on Tuesday 17 February 2026 commencing at 6:00 pm. An agenda and previous minutes are attached.
The Association has had many great achievements since its commencement in 2004, such as the establishment of the Old Bar Beach Festival in 2005, publication of Information Booklets for visitors, installation of 10 Old Bar bus shelters, grants for music at the markets, successful Business Networking Luncheons, investigation of security cameras for the shopping precinct and maintaining community notice boards to name a few.
Such achievements need a significant input of time and energy from community leaders and individuals however, and these days it is not easy to make such a commitment.
You are invited to attend the AGM on Tuesday 17 February to contribute to the decision on whether the Association can be revitalised and a new committee elected, if it should be merged with another Business Chamber, or if it should be voluntarily cancelled as an Association and surplus assets distributed.
Please feel free to pass this email to other community members and businesses in the Manning Islands, Old Bar and Wallabi Point area who may be interested to attend.
Indication of your intention to attend would be appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Ian Dimmock - Public Officer
Cara Chard - Secretary
Old Bar Manning Point Business & Community Association
