You’re invited to join the 4556 Chamber of Commerce for a very special evening celebrating the people, businesses and community that make our 4556 region such a great place to live and work.

Enjoy a relaxed two-course dinner, with networking from 5.30 pm, followed by dinner and an inspiring presentation from special guest Bernard Fehon OAM, founder of the Vinnies CEO Sleepout.

Bernard will share the remarkable story behind an idea that began with a small team in Western Sydney in 2006 and has since grown into a global movement, raising more than $120 million to support people experiencing homelessness. His message is a powerful reminder that bright ideas can build into snowballs—and that each of us can create positive change.

The evening will also include a brief AGM and the welcome of the 4556 Chamber’s new committee for 2026/27.

Tickets are $59 for members and $69 for non-members.

Membership is free, so it’s easy to join and save!

Buderim Bowls Club | 5.30pm–8.00pm | Two-course dinner | Drinks available for purchase

Come along, meet local business owners and community leaders, enjoy a great dinner and be

inspired by a story of an idea that really did make a difference.

BATS THEATRE COMPANY PROUDLY PRESENTS - INSPECTOR DRAKE AND THE BLACK WIDOW

Imagine if Fawlty Towers meets a murder mystery. That is, essentially, Inspector Drake and the Black Widow.

A classic English farce  featuring a cross between ‘Inspector Clouseau’ and ‘And Then There Were None’ will have you laughing out loud and forgetting about the outside world. A dead body is found, whilst dusting at 3am, which sets up a play that is an amusing parody of the whodunnit genre, that’s packed with lots of visual gags, subtle adult innuendo, all topped with a touch of cross-dressing.

The plot, set in the 1920s, has Sergeant Plod send for the infamous Inspector Drake to help solve the murder of John Johnson who has been stabbed in the back whilst wearing his wife’s  dress. The two are thwarted by a series of women who look suspiciously alike, with triplets born two months apart, a missing semi-tropical spider and a lustful widow. Just a few of the obstacles facing Inspector Drake.

Imagine Basil Fawlty playing Inspector Clouseau playing Inspector Drake? What can possibly go wrong?
