Bendigo Bank, the community bank has indicated that they are willing to help us set up shop in our business strip. The community will own the bank and provide local employment. Spearheaded by Jon Brewster of Sydney Cash Registers, and backed by Croydon Park Business Chamber, there is major movement in the air.

How many times have you wished for a bank up the road rather than having to jump on a bus or in the car and race to a bank in another area and hope you make it before closing time?

A local bank will put an end to the mad dash. How much more convenient is a local ATM especially when running low on cash? Our Community Bank will be owned by its people. Profits will be used locally to benefit its residents, schools, sports groups, charities and businesses.

The only way we can make this happen is for you, the people of Croydon Park and surrounds to become involved. You can do this in a number of ways, from becoming involved in the Steering Committee, to making a pledge, and to banking with the Community Bank.

A suburb with a bank is a vibrant suburb and it will bring new blood and custom to our beautiful area. But it’s now or never, and it needs you to get behind it 100%. It cannot go ahead without the backing of Croydon Park’s businesses, home based businesses and residents.

To get involved, call Jon Brewster on 0487 922 151.

For all of you who love community events, CPBC is planning to hold one with a difference. Not for us is the usual Street Fair or Park Festival – not that there’s anything wrong with that!

No, for Croydon Park we want to hold a number of events at different locations, on the same day, where you can wander down leisurely, from one location to another – here you will be able to participate or simply stand back and watch a craftsperson do their thing.

This Cultural Event will require much planning so if you want to be part of something truly exciting, and just a little out of the ordinary, come to one of our meetings.

Next meeting: Tuesday 19th November , 7.30pm
Hair Collections Salon, 153 Georges River Rd, Croydon Park
Please register your interest by email or 0414 654 904
