WELCOME TO PETERBOROUGH BUSINESS SOCIAL CLUB

President's Message

Dear fellow PBSC members,

Hey, remember us? We are that Club that used to get together in person on a monthly basis to socialize with adult beverages and enjoy amazing events. Well guess what? WE ARE BACK!!!

Who are we? The Peterborough Business Social Club (PBSC) or more accurately the Peterborough BS Club. We are a Club steeped in 75years of rich history, you may even have some memorabilia that says Peterborough Sales and Ad. We enjoyed classic activities like golf and broken-down golf carts. How about our notorious Christmas Gala with trips to faraway places? Whether we were throwing rocks, or axes, or even just throwing one back, our events were thoroughly enjoyed and celebrated. We had members at the mic, Speakers night and political debates. We had tasting events, Yuk Yuk's comedians and even magicians! While it may seem like so long ago, these fun and exciting times are just within our grasp.

Are you concerned that you have forgotten how to socialize in a public setting? Are you afraid you will have forgotten to put pants on to attend a meeting? Can you talk to someone without it being through a Zoom call? If you suffer from any of these then PBSC is the Club for you! Our Club is one of inclusivity and a simple smile and wave from a familiar face will put you right at ease. Club members are the best at making everyone feel welcome. Come join us, re-learn how interact in a social setting and meet great people. Give yourself the opportunity to join a positive networking environment. Expand your brand and increase your network in one of the most relaxed settings available. If you want fun, interactive and creative events, then we are the Business Social Club for you. More so now more than ever we crave social interaction and I am proud to say that we will offer the ability to socialize in whatever form that may look like!

For this upcoming year we are going to do everything that we can to ensure that we offer events and opportunities that align with the Provincial stages of re-opening. Our gatherings and events will ensure that safety measures and protocols are in place. Gala has been booked for Saturday November 20th at McDonnel St Activity Centre, so be sure to mark that one on your calendars. Our first event of the season is golf which is coming up quickly in September. More details to follow.

We recognize that our Club experience will be different from years past, therefore we are offering a new pricing schedule for members for this year. We have 2 options for membership; General Membership $250.00 + HST or Honorary Membership $200.00 + HST.

I am extremely happy to announce that our board is intact from last year with Barry Kilborn of Home Shield Permanent Metal Roofing Ltd. serving as our Past President. Jeff Lingard of Inclusive Advisory continues to serve the board as our Treasurer again this year. Matt Stimpson of We Design is our Vice President while Sean Handa of Century 21 Real Estate and Mike Baxter of CIBC Commercial Bank continue to serve the board and offer knowledge and insight that is much appreciated. As for your President, I am a Mortgage Specialist with TD Canada Trust and I am truly honored to be serving you and this Club while navigating through more unconventional times. Should you like to join the board and learn more about the Club and the way it operates we would welcome anyone with open arms.

Don't hesitate, get registered and come out and enjoy this amazing club and the exciting year ahead as the Province re-opens. Please refer to our website for payment options, upcoming calendar of events and regular news bulletins. Please also follow and engage with us on our Socials. We welcome all past and present members and of course anyone in the Greater Peterborough business community to join our club, meet likeminded individuals and celebrate the camaraderie and relationships that have been so significant to our club’s history.

Steve James
