2016 B&E Tasmanian Running Festival

Race wrap up

After the turmoil earlier in June due to the floods, it was a perfect yet chilly winter’s morning that greeted those who took on the B&E Launceston 10 on Sunday, June 12.

This year's event attracted around 1,500 elite athletes, runners, joggers and walkers across the three events, which included a 2km Kids Fun Run, the feature 10k race – the B&E Launceston 10 and the 5km event.

Olympian Liam Adams, was first over the line with a time of 29:10, followed closely by Jack Rayner and last year’s winner Duer Yoa.
Makda Harun Haji led the women home in 32:51 with Victoria Mitchell and Virginia Moloney close on her heels.

Dylan Evans (29:53) and Kate Pedley (34:44) were the first Tasmanian's across the line.

Congratulations to everyone who participated and helped to make it such a successful event.

Taking the stress out of tax time

For some, doing one’s tax is like a trip to the dentist, necessary, yet often done under sufferance.

Yes, tax time can be stressful but we’d like to think we can help you minimise some of the pressures by making it easy for you to get some of the crucial information you need to help you complete your return.

Home ownership obligations

There are many wonderful benefits to home ownership, including a sense of safety and security for your family and the ability to build wealth over time as your property value increases. Alongside this, there are also a range of important obligations which you need to meet to ensure that you reap these benefits.

Give Me 5 for Kids

We are a proud supporter of this year’s Give Me 5 for Kids Telethon which will be hosted by Southern Cross TV on Tuesday, July 5.

Give Me 5 for Kids is a national, annual campaign which raises funds for the local children’s ward to buy medical equipment that helps seriously ill children.

Last year, Give Me 5 for Kids raised over $500,000 for the children’s wards in Tasmania.
