Breakfast Meetings with the MBBG

The main feature of our group is the fortnightly breakfast meetings that we hold at the esteemed Mount Barker Hotel. At our meetings we address any items of importance that members of the group have raised before moving onto surprise interviews or a brief summary of a number of the businesses in the group, especially new faces!

We host guest speakers at our meetings as well and do so quite regularly, the presentations that are given at our meetings come from members of the group, businesses that are making changes in the community or hosting events in the near future, to members of council and local politicians who can inform members of the group what is happening in the community from their perspective.
