It was terrific to hear that WA Lotteries and SA Lotteries each offered grants of $1,000 to help newsagents fund attending the ANF Conference in Melbourne this week. They offered more $1,000 grants than were taken up unfortunately. It’s not often that we see newsagency suppliers offering such practical financial assistance for newsagents to participate in industry events.
Kudos to both organisations for providing such practical assistance and encouragement to newsagents for professional development.
Possibly because they didn’t tell the retailers they were available. I don’t recall ever getting notified that this was available. Couldn’t have gone anyway, but would have been nice to have it offered.
