RBS Morgans hosted a corporate tent at the 2013 Carlton Mid Roma Picnic Races held Saturday March 16. A great day was had by all, especially our client Gary Atkinson (pictured below with our CEO Paul Hilton) whose horse had a win on the day.

One of our Directors, Justin Still, competed in the March 2013 Ellerston 8 Goal Tournament for Glen Miln. These international polo tournaments are played twice each year, with this instalment being played at the Packers’ own Ellerston. Justin and his fellow team mates Thomas Hunt, Juan Britos and Ben Cowan beat Ellerston in extra time, 10 - 9.

On Saturday 4 May, Power Tynan participated in the BRW Triathlon at the Gold Coast, with each team member undertaking a 400m swim, 10km bike ride and 4km run. This is the 11th year that our firm has been involved in the triathlon, with staff encouraged to participate as part of the company’s health and wellbeing program. The firm entered seven teams of three, with the majority being staff members. Even though we had many first time triathletes, everyone completed their leg of the triathlon, which is an achievement in itself. Congratulations to everyone who took part in the event – we hope to have the same level of staff interest and involvement next year.

Congratulations to Jackson Stark, one of our 2012 scholarship recipients, for finishing in 9th place in the ASX Sharemarket Game. The Game is Australia wide, with over 12 000 participants, who are given a virtual $50,000 with the challenge of making that $50,000 grow. The Game gives you the chance to buy and sell shares in 150 companies listed on the sharemarket. It simulates real sharemarket conditions, uses live prices, and brokerage is charged on each trade. Best of all, the Game gives you the chance to trade without putting your own money on the line.

Congratulations to Nicole Rametta of our Stanthorpe office and Peter Rowe of our Toowoomba office, who have both recently graduated from USQ with a Bachelor of Commerce!

Our firm prides itself on being involved with local schools to encourage young men and women to enter the financial services industry. As part of this, Power Tynan was a major sponsor of the Downlands College ‘Tastes of Vietnam’ Race Day, held on June 1. Part of this sponsorship involved celebrity chef Alastair McLeod attending the event to provide an entertaining cooking demonstration.

Back by popular demand, the Toowoomba staff of Power Tynan embarked on their next ‘Overhaul’ workplace exercise program on June 4 with Fighting Fit. This is the seventh time this program has taken place, where participants will attend two 45 minute sessions per week for three months.

The Stanthorpe Apple & Grape Festival is being held in March 2014, and Power Tynan is very proud to announce Brooke Shatte as a Young Ambassador of the Festival.

The role of a Festival Young Ambassador is to be the face of the Festival and help raise funds to keep the Festival financially viable. Each Young Ambassador is sponsored by a business or organisation that supports their Ambassador in their Festival fundraising efforts.

Brooke has many fundraising events coming up, including a Pizza Oven Raffle, Movie Night at the Stanthorpe Arcadia, a Golf Day and a ‘Post Melbourne Cup’ Garden Party. Watch this space for more details on these events! All the staff of Power Tynan are throwing their full support behind Brooke and wish her well in her fundraising endeavours.
