The KBN is putting together a map which will be made available to all businesses, the sports facilities and accomodation venues around Kilbirnie. It will show where these facilities are and how to get to the shopping centre. Businesses will be featured under retail, eating and banking categories to entice people to come to Kilbirnie. If you would like to be part of this please contact Bruce on 920-1595.

Sunday 4th saw an enthusiastic team of over 25 people get together and clean up the Kilbirnie shopping centre. Rubbish was collected and graffiti painted out. Tremendous help from the council painters too.
Now that a clean base has been set, I would hope that each business and building owner will take the initiative and keep their premises clear of tagging by painting it out as soon as any appears. Some paint is available.
Theo reports that Kilbirnie now has a reputation of having graffiti vigilantes and that it is no use tagging this area.
Keep up the good work everyone.
It’s always good to talk with someone who knows where you’re coming from. And that’s what BNZ Connect is all about.
From 5.30pm to 7pm on the 06th September, we’re bringing together local business people for an informal networking evening held in our store. You don’t even need to be a BNZ customer to attend.
Share stories, experiences, ideas, lessons learnt, recommendations and referrals. It’s also a chance to build your networks and raise your business profile – so who knows what opportunities may come from it.
We hope to see you there!
