  • Big Freeze Newcastle 2017 Event Report
    BIG FREEZE NEWCASTLE EVENT & 2017 BIG FREEZE BALL Event Report Find us on social media @bigfreezenewcastle @BigFreezeNewcastle INSIDE COVER WHAT IS THE BIG FREEZE NEWCASTLE? Big Freeze Newcastle is the biggest campaign for awareness and research for a cure for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in the Hunter. The Big Freeze initiative is in its fourth year in Melbourne and in 2017 sporting champions slid into a pool of ice at the MCG, helping to raise more than $4 million for research to fight Motor Neurone Disease. The man behind bringing the Big Freeze event to Newcastle, Phil Camden, who has the incurable disease, was thrilled to see the generosity of Novocastrians who reached out to support the initiative. “With two people in Australia dying from Motor Neurone Disease every day, many local people have a connection with MND in some way and for them to see the outpouring of support from the local community is so important. It certainly means so much to me”, he said. Four years ago, Phil was a Senior Pastor of a church in Newcastle and while on a holiday and swimming in the ocean, he began to drown as weakness in his muscles set in. “Fast forward a few months from my holiday and I am in a doctor’s room being told I have an incurable disease and only have a year to live,” said Phil. “I am committing all the time I have left to do what I can to support those living with MND and realise a future where the doctors can say to people like me that they have a cure.” Phil lead the charge in bringing the Freeze to Newcastle, working with a local committee partnering with the Newcastle City Blues (AFL) and the Cure for MND Foundation.

  • International Journal of Music Business Research, October 2013, Vol
    36 International Journal of Music Business Research, October 2013, vol. 2 no. 2 The Newcastle music industry: An ethnographic study of a regional creative system in action Phillip McIntyre and Gaye Sheather1 Abstract This paper presents detailed preliminary findings from an ethnographic study of the Newcastle NSW music industry. It argues that in the midst of seemingly continuous change primarily wrought by the advent of new global trade regimes and associat- ed digital technologies there are also fundamental continuities at work for local music industries. These continuities are evident in the idea that these industries are part of a dynamic system of choice-making agents constituted by musicians, pro- moters, media operatives, venue owners, educators, policy makers and many oth- ers. They compete and collaborate within the structures of a gift and financial economy which exists in a regional and global framework with a dynamic history that has helped shape this creative system in action. Keywords: Creative system, creativity, music industry, field, ethnography 1 Introduction Prior to the turn of the millenium "fundamental ideological changes in the global political arena led to the creation of pro-market international trade regimes" (Thussu 2000: 82). As the processes of deregulation, pri- vatization and the opening of borders to rapid flows of capital "com- bined with new digital information and communication technologies" (ibid.) the impacts these produced have been felt across all economies internationally, from advanced to less well developed ones. This certain- ly happened in Europe and America but other regions, countries and localities have been living through the continuities and changes these developments continue to bring.

Jo McGregor - RANN TABLE OF CONTENTS EVENT SUMMARY 4 OBJECTIVES 4 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS AND EVENT HIGHLIGHTS 5 MEDIA AND MARKETING 6 EVENT ATTENDANCE 8 EVENT SPONSORS 9 WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA 10 CONTACT INFORMATION 10 What an awesome event. Congratulations to all the organisers and thank you - it was a privilege to be a part of it. Robyn Warner Causley: Walk Together Attendee EVENT SUMMARY On June 23, 2012 at 1pm, 350 Novocastrians took part in the inaugural Walk Together event beginning at Central Promenade Newcastle and ending at the Newcastle Maritime Centre in Honeysuckle, with a small festival celebrating the diverse cultures that make up the Australian experience. Walk Together also took place in 10 capital cities and several regional cities around the nation and was a very successful day, with over 10,000 people in attendance across the nation. Walk Together Newcastle was a celebration of all that diversity adds to our society, culture and community as we recognised that we have all walked different paths to become part of the combined Australian journey. It gave everyone in the community—long-term Australians, Indigenous Australians, refugees, migrants, international students and all other Australian citizens—the chance to welcome the latest arrivals to our community and to demonstrate our support for its beautiful multicultural reality.

  • 2021 Evaluation Report
    2021 Evaluation Report Hosted by INTRODUCTION The 2021 Your Local Club Academy Games was held across the Hunter region from Friday 16th – Sunday 18th April 2021, hosted for the third and final year by the Hunter Academy of Sport. The games showcased the state’s best emerging athletes across six sports including AFL, Basketball, Golf, Hockey, Netball and Triathlon. Over 3500 athletes, supporters, staff, volunteers and coaches attended the 2021 Your Local Club Academy Games at seven Hunter venues across the weekend. The Hunter region has some outstanding venues used at the Your Local Club Academy Games. In 2021 the event showcased the importance of quality venues and supportive local staff to make the Games operate smoothly. The venues used were all exceptional, and the coverage across the Region was also very important due to the level of support by the City of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie City Council. The versatile nature of the Hunter region allowed the sports to be played across multiple LGA’s including Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and Maitland, with the inclusion of a Central Coast venue for our Hockey tournament. The media coverage and support from NBN Television and the Newcastle Herald is also very important in the brand positioning of the Your Local Club Academy Games. The extensive pre-Games media coverage was very important in building brand equity for the event. The post event coverage was also extremely substantial. 2021 Your Local Club Academy Games The support from all Regional Academies is also essential for putting on this event. To all eleven NSW Regional Academies - we thank you for your support for the Games and to the ethos of competition.

    An applied ethnographic study of Creativity & Cultural new entrepreneurial systems in the Production in the Hunter creative industries. Newcastle The University of Newcastle I April 2019, ARC Grant LP 130100348 Now AuslnilianGon ,rnment ���;�Busmess nt Ai&i1rall1.11Rtu1n:bCou11dl 6. MUSIC 6.1 Introduction This part of the report outlines the history, structure, business models, operational methods and important personnel associated with each sector. This section outlines the music industry in Australia (Cunningham & Turnbull 2014) before looking specifically at the music industry in the Hunter region. It locates the current Hunter Region music scene within Australian music history particularly in relation to the European tradition, specifically the American and British music traditions. Of note is the fact that the ongoing digital revolution continues to reshape the industry, its composition, songwriting, recording, performance and business modes. Structurally the music industry is comprised of three major and related sectors i.e. publishing, recording and live performance. There are ancillary sectors as well such as manufacturing, retail and media which are interconnected with the three major sectors. There are various business models used within these sectors. The operational methods are both formal (e.g. use of contracts, performance schedules etc.) and informal (e.g. adherence to a gift economy). Its most important personnel include songwriters, composers, musicians, managers, touring crews, venue operators, agents, promoters, producers, engineers, publishers, A&R operatives and, of course, the audience. 6.2 A Brief History of the Music Industry in Australia. The music industry in the Hunter is a local variant of a much larger national and global one (Miller & Shahriari 2012).
