They keep the toilets unblocked, the lights on, the walls standing and the wheels turning – now it’s time to raise a glass to our local tradies!

Join us for a relaxed sundowner at Hale Rd Tavern as we shine the spotlight on the hardworking tradespeople who keep our community humming.

🔧 Real talk, real people – no hard sell, just great local connections

We’ll also be introducing our new Trade Talk event series—a no-pressure networking catch-up for local tradies who want to connect, share ideas, challenges and advice with others who understand the unique realities of their industries.

All members welcome. Tradies especially encouraged to attend – and feel free to bring along a mate in the industry (member or not).
