Change is the law of life.  And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.                   John F Kennedy

 

Happiness is like a butterfly;  the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.      Henry David Thoreau

 

The pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist expects it to change, the realist adjusts the sails.                 William Arthur Ward

"Connection is why we're here, it's what gives us meaning and purpose in life" - Brene Brown

The biennial Mudgee Clock Awards are on again.  In 2016 and into the future, the Mudgee Chamber of Commerce will team with the Rotary Club of Mudgee Sunrise to host the Awards. Sunrise President, Larry Wilkinson, and Chamber President, Greg Dowker, said the partnership will "enhance an already successful celebration of local businesses". 

 

Whilst businesses do not need to be members of the Mudgee Chamber of Commerce to enter the Clock Awards (or to win the Clock), the alignment of the Clock Awards with the NSW Business Awards program will give category winners who are members automatic progression to the Central West Orana Regional Business Awards and the possibility of further progression to the NSW Business Chamber Business Awards.  This year, the awards will have more categories, with seven of the category winners automatically progressing to the regional business awards if they are chamber members.

 

Further details about the Clock Awards and a link for businesses to complete their submission/s may be found at www.mudgeeclockawards.com.au.   Businesses must nominate their own business, an employee, an apprentice or a trainee.  It is important to remember that nominations/submissions close on Friday, 1st July.

Mudgee Scout Hall renovations are continuing due to Mudgee's community spirit.   The Rotary Club of Mudgee Sunrise, AK Constructions, Moolarben Coal Mine, Wilpinjong Coal Mine, Mudgee Guardian, T&T Kitchen Design, Reece Plumbing, Mudgee Tile Centre, TJM Plumbing, Phil Larkin Electrical, Tattersalls Construction, Mudgee Plaster Board, Mudgee Mini Mix and Stott's Painting have all contributed to the improvements. 

 

The 2014 Clock Awards provided the impetus for funding of the renovations.
