Chamber Lunch at Corkscrew
Corkscrew Restaurant on Esmonde Street was a hive of activity on Tuesday the 11th of May with the holding of another successful Lunch with the Chamber. Hosted by Jimmy and Joe McDonald, the afternoon was well attended with each and every table of six business people keeping themselves busy networking. Corkscrew, an award winning restaurant, served up a wonderful menu at this lunchtime function much to the delight of every one attending.
As always, everyone at the lunch was introduced to one and other and a full listing of all business in attendance was circulated. A novel innovation was made on the day with a selected question distributed to all. This months question was "What more can Gorey Chamber do for your Business"? This resulted in a number of interesting initiatives which we hope to launch over the coming months.
The winner of the monthly business card draw was Adrian Jones from South East Radio who was drawn by our newest member in attendance, Peter Lynch from Enzone on McDermott St. Sorry to have missed you here, but try to see if you can make it to our next one.

All Change on the Streets.
Gorey Chamber has welcomed the recent parking changes on the business streets in the town. With a flexi parking facility now in place on all business streets, allowing shoppers to pay for 30 minutes parking at a time, it makes shopping in the town easier. Commenting, Dick White, Chamber Executive “It is all change on our streets, we submitted a proposal to the Council in June 2008 and are pleased to see that our work with the Town Councils Enterprise Committee has borne fruit. Flexi payment is a service that the business sector has long requested and we are happy that out wishes have been accepted”. Concluding, White added, “Other changes to the By Laws of the Town are in the pipeline and we look forward to assessing the proposals over the coming weeks to ensure that the most positive changes are implemented”

Chamber Lunch at Wild Spice
Gorey Chamber held another very successful lunch this month, this time in the wonderful surroundings of Wild Spice Indian Restaurant on Esmonde St on the 13th April. Hosted by Praba Sankaran and Carina Deegan who very kindly opened their premises on the day, and we were not disappointed with the fare on offer.
This monthly networking opportunity is one of the most popular of our events on the calendar. Providing an opportunity to link into Business people that are of interest to you, it can sometimes be surprising just who you might be seated with on the day. With both myself and a member of staff on hand to make introductions for you, a further opportunity exists for you to make contact with someone you missed from the attendance list circulated on the day.
Our members draw at the lunch was won by Keith Groarke of Allied Irish Banks whose name was drawn by Carina Deegan of Wild Spice Indian Restaurant. With our next Lunch booked in for the 11th of May, our remaining dates which have been set for 15th June, 6th July, 7th September, 5th October, 2nd November are now set and hopefully the Volcanic Ash Eruptions wont disrupt these!!!!!!
