Dungeons & Dragons Come and Try Day
2023-07-29 11:00 - 15:00
Exciting news – CTC Youth Crew has partnered up with Gamez Knight in Kingaroy to host a Dungeons & Dragons Come and Try Day for young people aged 12-24 who would like to learn more about the DnD universe and how the game is played.

What is DnD?
Dungeons & Dragons takes you and your friends on epic journeys. Become characters you create, battle deadly foes, uncover secrets, find treasure, and make memories that last a lifetime. Are you looking to spark your imagination while having fun with friends? Dungeons & Dragons is a collaborative roleplaying game for players of all ages. Gather your friends to vanquish mighty monsters, embark on epic quests, and tell legendary stories filled with fantasy and fun!

Why should young people play?
DnD allows young people to make friends and think creatively in a supportive environment. Gamez Knight is a safe space for young people to meet likeminded people in the community who enjoy playing games in a social atmosphere. This DnD session will be led by experienced Dungeon Masters (game organisers and participants in charge of creating the details and challenges of a given adventure, while maintaining a realistic continuity of events) who will help explain the rules and teach newcomers the ropes. DnD is a great imaginative outlet and fantastic way for young people to meet new people.
We will be providing each participant with their own set of DnD dice to keep as well as lunch and transport, if required. To register a young person, simply reply to this email or call me on 0429 190 713 if you have any questions.

BaconFest
2023-08-18 - 2023-08-20
The idea for a BaconFest came to our first Chief Baconeer Kathryn Stevens one night while doing the washing up. This light bulb moment was discussed at length over coffee and wine and slowly but surely began to gain some momentum. Before long, an impressive team of enthusiastic and bacon-loving volunteers had signed up for the cause and committed themselves to delivering a weekend-long celebration of the pig. These creative individuals are passionate about the South Burnett region and committed to using their professional skills and talents to give back to the community by delivering a truly delicious event.

Path to Prosperity Launch
2023-10-24 17:30 - 21:00
Path to Prosperity
September saw the launch of KCCI event, the ‘Path to Prosperity.’ The event will be held on the 24th October at the Kingaroy Town Hall. It aims to shed light on the tremendous investment opportunities within our region and will launch two key South Burnett region specific economic reports.
Attendees can look forward to a delightful evening of great food, networking opportunities, and invaluable information.
The evening will feature two prominent, expert speakers:

Terry Ryder from hotspotting.com.au will present the ‘Why Invest in the South Burnett’ report. Mr. Ryder is a renowned expert in property investment and will provide valuable insights into the region’s real estate potential.
Neil Glentworth from DunneMedforth will present the ‘Regional Economic Opportunities’ report. Mr. Glentworth is a respected authority in regional data analysis and his presentation will highlight the diverse economic opportunities that the South Burnett has to offer.

The South Burnett region is primed for new opportunities and investment, and this event aims to empower attendees with the knowledge and insights necessary to capitalise on these prospects. In a preview statement from Terry, he outlines, “As we continue to work on the report, the factor that stands out for me is how much Kingaroy and the South Burnett Region is a natural fit for the dominant demographic trend in Australia, the Exodus to Affordable Lifestyle.”
Terry says, “Australians continue to leave the big, expensive, congested cities and move to regional areas that offer lifestyle, community and housing affordability – preferably not too far from larger cities.
Your region can offer that in a location within a couple of hours of Brisbane, Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast – and it’s attracting new population and business investment for those reasons.”
A special thanks to our sponsors…
Bendigo Community Bank Blackbutt, Yarraman, and Nanango have funded this project through their Community Grants Fund. We are so lucky to have amazing Community Banks like Bendigo that are committed to building the capacity of the community. Further, the KCCI would not be able to create such opportunities in our region and spend the time building relationships and having meaningful conversations if it wasn’t for the commitment of our Platinum Partner, Garden Grove Landscape Supplies who have funded the full time Presidents role this year. Our region really does have some amazing forward thinkers making a difference.
The launch will be on October 24th 2023, at the Kingaroy Town Hall with tickets on sale HERE.
