THE Bartica Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) is partnering with AJ’s Promotions to host Bartica Expo and stage show billed for November 7-8, 2014.The stage show will take place on November 8, 2014 at the Transport and Harbours Department (T&HD) Stelling in Bartica featuring several local artistes.

Chairman of AJ’S Promotions, Budhesh Chatterpaul said it is indeed a pleasure to be in collaboration with BCCI for the upcoming expo.

Recognising the importance of developing our community by paving the way for business opportunities is the driving force behind this event, and the theme, ‘Promoting&Transforming Bartica’, sits at the core of developmental strategy for Bartica, he added.

Chatterpaul noted that it is his belief that our community can turn a new page and start a new developmental process that can only be maintained through a collective effort and a common vision.

Vice-chairman of the BCCI, Anthony Murray said it’s been more than 10 years since it has been inactive and earlier this year through the Small Business Bureau, Mr. Dereck Cummings went to Bartica and had discussions with some businessmen and a steering committee was formed.
As such, an invitation was extended to AJ’s Promotions and it was accepted, while others also agreed to collaborate for the event.
AJ’s Promotions sees the opportunity for the Chamber to attract businesses to its membership.

The event will take place at Bartica Community Centre Ground from 18:00 hrs daily to midnight and also on Saturday there will be a stage show.
The gate fee on November 7 is $500 for adults and children $300, and as for November 8 the entrance fee is $1,000 for adults which will allow access to both the expo and the stage show, while children will pay $300 each.
The sponsors include MoneyGram, Thrill Soft Drink, among others.
