The Central West Village Voice Networking Breakfasts are coming up across the region, with dates now confirmed for Bathurst, Blayney, Lithgow and Oberon — and the invitation is open to the entire business and community sector to come together, connect and collaborate.
These breakfasts continue to build momentum as a valued fixture on the regional calendar — not because they’re flashy or forced, but because they’re genuine. They bring together small businesses, sole traders, larger employers, not-for-profit organisations, volunteers and community groups in the same room, on equal footing, over a cuppa and a simple breakfast.
In regional communities, strong relationships matter. Whether you’re running a business, coordinating a community group, managing a local service or supporting volunteers, the work we do is deeply interconnected. These mornings create space to share ideas, make introductions, spark partnerships and remind us that no one is operating in isolation.
The format is intentionally relaxed. Doors open at 7.00am for a light breakfast snack, tea, coffee and informal networking, with the event officially commencing at 7.30am. Proceedings conclude around 8.45am, with guests welcome to stay on until 9.30am to continue conversations and make the most of the time together.
Upcoming dates and locations are:
• Bathurst – Friday 27 February at BMEC, 105 William Street
• Blayney – Friday 27 March at Blayney Community Centre, 41 Church Street
• Lithgow – Friday 24 April at Gang Gang Gallery, 206 Main Street
• Oberon – Friday 29 May at Oberon Library, 74A Dart Street
Tickets are $20 per person for businesses, or $10 for those representing a not-for-profit or community group — a deliberate approach to ensure accessibility across the sector. Bookings are limited, so early ticket purchase is strongly encouraged.
Tickets are available via www.humantix.com/cwvv-networking. For further information, contact Kellie at kellie@villagevoice.net.au or 0429 001 918.
Sometimes the most meaningful progress begins with a simple conversation — and these breakfasts are where those conversations start.
