Bayside Business Excellence Awards Just a few seconds thought.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words:
Based on prevailing knowledge about business resump-
tion post lockdown, it is with regret that the combined par-
ties of the Bayside Rotary Clubs, Bayside Business Net-
work and Bayside City Council do not envisage running
the awards program in 2021. Nonetheless, everyone will
monitor developments and look at the situation as it
evolves.
