As we have just seen the National Championship round of the Power Boats in August and Round 10 of the FIA World Rally Championship, which was held in September, the economic benefit to Coffs Harbour has been enormous. Some people may argue that they have been inconvenienced by these events but events bring enormous benefit to our community as well as providing worldwide media that showcases Coffs Harbour. Indent summary of the events that have been held at C.ex Coffs International Stadium are as follows: Events – 1 August, 2013 – 31 July, 2014 • 90 days of sporting events including eight national events, seven state. 19 regional events and 21 local events. • A multitude of sports including AFL, Athletics, Football (Soccer), Oz Tag, Rugby Union, Rugby League and Touch Football. • Over 22,000 participants and 13,500 spectators have entered the Stadium gates. • An estimated economic benefit in excess of $9 million to the City. Events already booked in for the second year of our naming rights agreement are as follows: • October 2014, the National Junior Oztag Championships – a first for the venue with an estimated 2100 competitors plus officials and families • November 2014, the National Senior Oztag Championships for the seventh year with around 1800 competitors plus officials and spectators. • February, 2015, the Oztag Junior State Cup will be played for the first time. This will be a massive event with over 250 teams consisting of more than 4000 BY MARGHERITA STANDING – C.ex Coffs Camera Club JOHN RAFFERTY competitors alone. • March 2015, the return of the National Touch Football Titles with over 2500 competitors plus officials and spectators. • April 2015, the Touch Football World Cup, which will host players from 30 different countries and it is expected to bring over 3000 people to the Coffs Coast as approximately 100 teams battle for a World Title. • The stadium will also play host to the usual range of local, regional and state sporting events over the next 12 months. As the Christmas season draws closer I urge people to book early with our Events Team for their Christmas functions at C.ex Coffs and especially to consider booking your group onto our new area, ‘The North Lawn’ which is now available for outdoor functions and events. Kind Regards, John Rafferty october-november 2014 cex.com.au 3 Events in Focus The Silly Season HELLO !! Hello from the Events Team. Who is excited that we are off and racing into Spring Carnival Season? Ladies, we hope you have your frocks and hats ready for Melbourne Cup and gentlemen, remember to match your female counterparts! We have some fabulous events lined up for Melbourne Cup day, which you will see in the upcoming pages. We would love to see you there! Did you know that World War I and World War II stopped most major sporting events in Australia but never the Melbourne Cup? It would be excellent to welcome everyone to C.ex Coffs dressed up in their finest race attire, so perhaps pre-race drinks in our Legends or Vista bars with your fellow race goers? The C.ex Coffs Wedding Showcase and Expo Day! By now everybody knows that the Events office loves a wedding or two … you could say we are obsessed with all things weddings! We are super excited to announce the return of the C.ex Coffs Wedding Showcase and Expo Day on Sunday 18 January 2015 from 10am to 2pm. The upcoming showcase will feature C.ex Coffs’ Rainbow Room and Rendezvous Room with stunning examples of theming, entertainment, wedding cakes and more, setting the scene of real-life weddings. The Expo will be held in the Auditorium, which is conveniently located on the same floor and in perfect proximity to the showcased function rooms. We will not only be showcasing our function rooms to their finest potential but also bringing together Coffs Harbour’s most exclusive suppliers. All guests will receive a welcome drink and delicious high tea treats on arrival, ready to be led on a magical journey into the world of Coffs Harbour weddings. We cannot wait to meet the happy, sparkly brides who are already engaged or will be proposed to over the summer season because – ladies, listen intently now – statistics show that a third of wedding proposals happen between Christmas and the New Year! So surely, if we add the holiday frivolity, the warmth of summer and relief of holidays, it would equate to over 50 per cent, right?! So bring yourself, your groom and a bunch of bridesmaids and blind us with your megawatt smiles and sparkly new jewels. We will bring the champagne to celebrate. 4 cex.com.au october-november 2014 It might not seem it at the moment but Christmas is coming around quickly with everyone remarking how hastily the year has gone.

Native to the mid-north coast of NSW, Amanda has had an affiliation with many styles of music and varied artists. She felt the calling of country music, however, after discovering the fabulous Loretta Lynn. She still feels very influenced by Loretta Lynn, acknowledging her as one of the pioneers for women in country music. Amanda’s songs are from very real life experience and are written from the heart. She does not believe in just writing another song – she strives for her songs to have substance and feeling so that her audience connects with her and her story. Amanda has recently released her EP, Better Off Alone, and the one thing that stands out is that the songs are a reflection of who Amanda is today, demonstrating traits of strength and determination to be successful both as a mother and a country music artist. Her ability to be unique and approachable is a crucial part of Amanda’s personality that shines through her songs and onstage performances that has led to Amanda gaining success and a great fan base. Gabriel and Cecilia Saturday 25 October 8.00pm In the Vista Lounge $Free Gabriel and Cecilia Brandolini are two wonderful young and inspired singer/songwriters with a wealth of musical talent. They have rocketed to ‘hottest duo in Australia’ status after their recent appearances on The Voice. This creative and original brother and sister duo from northern NSW started playing music at six or seven years of age and are now proficient in a colourful array of instruments, including piano, bass, ukulele, guitar and viola. Their original album Dirt On Our Shoes, which reached number nine in the national iTunes album charts and number three on singer/songwriter charts, is just the start for these two. With shows booked around the country, lots of media attention, a rapidly growing following of adoring fans and more albums to come, Gabriel and Cecilia’s style is accessible to audiences of all ages and their success looks likely to soar! Mei Wei Lim and Swingfonia Mei Wei Lim and Swingfonia proudly present their Autumn Leaves jazz show Sunday 16 November 2.00pm $10 Join dynamic musician Mei and her wonderful vocal group, Swingfonia, for their sparkling Autumn Leaves show.

Dads in Distress were the worthy recipient of the $1200 raised on the day. Since the humble beginnings of Dads in Distress, on a verandah in Coffs Harbour in 1999, their volunteers have positively impacted thousands of families across the nation, saved untold men on the brink of suicide and seen many children reunited with their fathers and extended families. Keep up the good work Dads in Distress. Jeans for Genes Day During August the Coffs Coast Apex Toy Library received a $3500 Club Grant from the C.ex Group. The grant will be used to bring a new vision to the Coffs Coast Toy Library. This will involve implementing a new business plan to modernise, organise and provide the community with access to a wide range of contemporary early childhood educational toys. The toy library, located at the Bray Street Shopping Complex, can be contacted on 6652 7986. NAB Cycle Challenge On Sunday 3 August a record 852 cyclists – young and old – saddled up, clipped their feet into the pedals and pushed and pulled their way over Coffs Coast hills and dales in aid of Rotary charities.

On Friday 1 August our staff and members participated in Jeans for Genes day. Together we raised more than $800. All donations to the Children’s Medical Research Institute make a real and immediate difference to finding causes and new treatments for childhood genetic diseases. A huge thank you to all our members and staff for taking part and donating to such a worthwhile cause. 10 cex.com.au october-november 2014 Dat es to Rem 1 November embe r We Care Day C.ex Coffs proudly supports Community Care Options and is a major sponsor of the We Care Day celebrations at the Jetty Foreshores. 26 November Simmo’s Dirty Dozen Fundraiser for Prostate Cancer.

Canada Whether it’s Niagara Falls or the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Rocky Mountains, Canada is home to some of the world’s most magnificent sights. Travellers are spoilt for choice when it comes to sightseeing in Canada. After all, 16 millionplus visitors each year can’t be wrong. Indent by the Rockies, the town of Banff and the village of Lake Louise are the standouts of the west coast of Canada. The pristine mountains are mirrored in the turquoise waters of the lake where it’s not uncommon to see deer and bears in the wild. It’s here where nature makes way for world-class skiing and luxury resorts combined with natural beauty and the best facilities. Rodeos don’t come much bigger than the greatest outdoor show on earth: The Calgary Stampede. There are daily shows featuring bull riding, steer wrestling and of course barrel racing. And at night there’s a grandstand show with the thrills and spills of the ever-popular chuck wagon races. Held annually in July, it’s an amazing time to be in Calgary and an experience that every cowboy-at-heart needs to have in their lifetime. 24 cex.com.au october-november 2014 The east coast is considered the cultural heart of Canada. Visit the largest French-speaking city outside of France in Montreal or experience the thunder of Niagara Falls whilst enjoying Canada’s number one food and wine destination. Indent Australia is offering C.ex Group members the opportunity to combine agriculture and the spectacular sights of Canada with our 16-day Western Canada and Calgary Stampede Tour departing Australia on the 5 July 2015.

A large crowd of enthusiastic supporters gathered at the city centre to see the mayor present the keys to the city to the players and coach. As part of the event the C.ex Sports, Touring and Classic Car Club was approached by council to provide the team with transport from their Novotel training base to the city centre. The car club responded quickly by providing a convoy of 28 specially selected club cars and drivers to pick up the players at the Novotel. The cars then travelled to the city centre venue under police escort and returned the team to the Novotel following the presentation. The keys to the city were expertly made a few weeks prior to the event at the Coffs Harbour Men’s Shed and we thank them for their valuable contribution. Many thanks also go to our club members for providing the transport and to other members who assisted with the logistics of what turned out to be a very successful community event.
