The Wonderful World of Winter Sports

Shaun Lawry • Apr 22, 2013

Trent Collins, Reece Collins, Shaun Lawry

Around these parts, sport, in particular, football is an institution. Not in a Texas High School, Friday Night Lights kind of way, but we love our footy and netball here, and a few of us in the GMG office are no exception to the rule. Now I'm not going to bang on about arguably what many of us consider to be the best club on the planet - COLLINGWOOD, but I will tell you a little bit about my new club, Charlton.

The Charlton Football club is actually made up of the Charlton Football, Hockey & Netball Club and brings together a range of great characters from around the town and district. The club have been fantastic in welcoming myself, my wife Teagan & our 2 children into their community. My future brother in-law, Reece Collins is the coach of the senior football team, Leanne Gretgrix is the senior coach of the hockey team & Tessa Burton is the coach of the A grade netball team.

The first 2 rounds have seen this old boy kick a few goals before running out of steam, but that's just due to what I thought was a massive pre-season, but turns out the work rate might not be at where it used to be! The senior football , A grade netball & the senior hockey teams are all 2 wins from 2 games. All teams have had an even contribution right across the board but there's still a few areas that need improvement.

Have you ever been to Charlton? Have you ever seen a hockey game played at the same place as football and netball? If you answered NO to any, or all of these, I have the solution for you…….. COME TO CHARLTON FOOTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlton Football Club (inc Netball & Hockey Clubs) are holding a sponsorship and family day on the 4 ^th of May, it is a home game VS Boort. Come along & enjoy a great day out!

Dont forget to drop into GMG Accountings new office located in the main street of Charlton! Myself & Jess Round visit the office every Thursday!

Is Bad Cash Flow keeping you awake at night?

By Ash Lawry • 28 Jan, 2020

Is bad cash flow keeping you awake at night? It is common to see profitable businesses struggle with cash flow difficulties. Small Business owners need to understand the ebbs and flows of their business and plan ahead. The ideal situation for a business owner is to be able to pay all suppliers by due dates. Fall behind and the grapevine always seems to spread faster with bad news. A bad reputation for paying bills has many repercussions including difficulty in obtaining supplies and can also lead to a downturn in customers. It's common that many small businesses fail during their infancy. This is due to new business owners spending cash flow without planning for future liabilities including Tax, GST, PAYG Withholding and Superannuation commitments. It is often the second year in business that hurts most as you can get through the first year without paying any income tax. But when it catches up, it catches up two fold as you will be required to pay your prior years tax in full, and start paying instalment

The Power of Influence - A Night with Chris Helder

By Kerry Thomson • 19 Oct, 2016

Last Thursday night 6 representatives of GMG went to hear Chris Helder speak to an audience of approximately 90 people at Spoons Riverside, arranged by Swan Hill Inc. Chris is a certified practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming specialising in advanced communication and behavioral modelling. Chris provided us with a high energy and entertaining account of personality characteristics, body language and how we can identify these. This is designed to help us to be more aware of our own personality traits and also of those around us. He also taught us his useful everyday communication techniques that can help us not only personally but professionally based on his FORD principle – Family, Occupation, Relax & Dreams (vulnerability). Chris was an informative, entertaining and insightful speaker and I'm sure everyone who attended learned a great deal. Below is a photo of our very own Ash Lawry with Chris Helder
