Over the past few weeks, our team has been out and about across the Northern Rivers, joining in on some wonderful local events that highlight connection, creativity, and community spirit.
Kyogle Show, celebrating country life
We kicked things off at the Kyogle Show, where families and locals came together to enjoy everything from horse events to handmade crafts. Our team hosted a pot-painting activity in the Kids Zone that was a big hit with the little ones, a lovely reminder of how small, sustainable moments can make a lasting impression. It was great to be part of such a longstanding regional tradition and to connect with people from the Kyogle community.
Jacaranda Festival, a day of colour and connection
Next, we joined the celebrations in Grafton for the Jacaranda Festival’s RetroFest, a vibrant day filled with colour, music, and nostalgia. The purple blooms set the perfect backdrop for meeting locals, sharing stories, and celebrating community pride.
One of the highlights was meeting Sophia (pictured with Summerland Bank staff member Melissa), the winner of our jellybean guessing competition, who was all smiles after her winning guess, and promised to share the prize with her siblings!
Kyogle Real Estate’s Annual Charity Golf Day
Our team was proud to take part in the 10th annual Kyogle Real Estate Charity Golf Day, joining over 145 players and local businesses for a great day on the green, all in support of local causes that make a real difference.
Funds raised will benefit several community organisations, including Kyogle SES, Kyogle Golf Club, Kyogle Hospital Ladies Auxiliary, Fire NSW Kyogle Branch, and the Variety Bash.
This marks the second year a Summerland Bank team has participated, continuing our commitment to supporting the communities we serve.
A big thank you to Kyogle Real Estate for hosting another successful event and bringing our community together in such a meaningful way.
Events like these remind us why we love supporting local initiatives that bring people together and keep the spirit of the Northern Rivers thriving.
Coming up – Bangalow Show, supporting local spirit
This month, we’re continuing our commitment by sponsoring the Bangalow Show, a much-loved local event that captures everything unique about our region. Our team will be there to connect with customers and community members and celebrate this annual event.
These events are about more than sponsorships; they’re about being part of something bigger. Whether it’s chatting with locals, supporting family-friendly activities, or helping strengthen regional connections, we are proud to keep growing alongside the communities we serve.
