RSA and RCG requirements: a one-stop shop for business owners in the hospitality industry Liquor & Gaming Licensing The Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) and the Responsible Conduct of Gaming (RCG) are two fundamental obligations for hospitality venues across New South Wales (NSW). These frameworks have long been in operation, but have recently been the subject of proposed amendments. In this article, we will examine the core RSA and RCG functions. Then, we will assess potential areas of improvements with respect to venue management, patron needs, and the broader social interest. #rsa #rsg https://lnkd.in/gdsNi7DY

Some will say they shouldn’t have even got this far. Others will say they came agonisingly close. Both are probably correct. Whatever your view, I feel Gareth Southgate pulled off a masterstroke – against all the odds - again. It can be similar in business - no one seems to be satisfied. Everyone is criticising you. If you run your own business you have to do what you feel is right. Clearly you can be answerable to a board, to shareholders, but if you’re the CEO, you need to make the difficult decisions – and not be too concerned with the FLACK others will throw at you. You need to have a thick skin. To paint Southgate as a failure after four tournaments of outstanding success, is a tad unfair. But as in business, football can be unfair. Southgate is unlikely to be given the credit he deserves. And as a business leader, expecting credit for your actions can be a thankless task. www.johnstapleton.eu

Focusing on long-term commercial gains 💪 Sponsorship case study: English football club Hampton & Richmond FC have made a unique commitment to partner with Movember... for $0. The partnership includes: 1) Front of jersey placement 2) Support with fundraising initiatives 3) Delivering initiatives to help young people and parents talk about mental health through football environments Why would they give up their prime real-estate (front of jersey) to Movember for free, instead of a high-paying commercial sponsor? Principal owner and ex-strategy director of Liverpool FC, Stefano Petruzzo FRGS is focused on: 1) Values & culture: Building a values-orientated club with a strong culture 2) Differentiation: A brand that is unique and positively perceived 3) Commercial: A brand that is appealing to partner with (based on the above) Sponsorships always involves a value exchange... Although Movember aren't providing a direct financial benefit, the association delivers goodwill and a transfer in brand equity, which improves Hampton & Richmond FC's appeal and likelihood of obtaining future sponsorships and achieving broader commercial outcomes. Hampton & Richmond FC aren't alone - there are several examples of clubs in Australia and across the globe who've chosen to sacrifice short term $ (e.g. from wagerers) to ensure brand value alignment. #sportsmarketing #sportsbusiness p.s.

What can Pittsburgh's transformation teach us in Hamilton? Pittsburgh and the City Of Hamilton share a common history in their industrial pre-eminence in steel in the mid 1900's. Carnegie Steel, U.S. Steel, Dofasco and Stelco. Giants of their era. Dominant in their regions. Strategic employers. Philanthropic pillars. But the decline in the steel industry devastated both regions in the inevitable job losses, rapid decline of the local economies and urban decay. What happened next in both communities shared some early similarities in the slow pivot to education and health care. But in Pittsburgh's case far more progress was made. Our respective communities are in markedly different positions today. The reasons are many and varied and, in Pittsburgh's case the subject of a great deal of research and writing (and worth exploring if you're interested). Much harder to pin down are the reasons for our struggles. But whatever the reasons, we're at a cross roads (again). But this time we have in our grasp the potential to achieve and exceed what Pittsburgh has accomplished in the coming decades for reasons that PJ Mercanti and I touch on with Mike Fortune. Beyond on our remarks here, let me share what I see from my work in the area that leaves me optimistic about our region's future: 💪 The Oak View Group's investment with Live Nation Entertainment in collaboration with HUPEG in our City's key downtown asset, centered as it is on entertainment - particularly music and performance - will yield massive economic local economic impacts and not just in the infrastructure investment, but in ongoing retail and hospitality spend, employment and skills training, local procurement and international civic brand recognition. 💪 We're Canada's biggest small town. Our leadership in every sector is deeply connected. We know each other. Not always collaborative or high functioning - but possessing that potential. And OVG is the kick in the pants we all need. 💪 Our region is insanely well positioned geographically as the connecting node btw the GTA and the US market. 💪 Lets not forget about the City of Burlington right next door. One of Canada's most livable cities. Widely recognized as a jewel. Led by a future focused Mayor (Marianne Meed Ward (C.Dir.) and Council. And is itself on the cusp of massive infrastructure transformation in the coming years owing to the efforts of its largest land owner and developer Alinea Land Corporation whose proposed projects in Aldershot, Appleby and Bronte Creek will soon burst into public view offering the prospect of new amenities, a remarkable inventory of housing and a magnet for the retention and attraction of talent. Not unlike Austin Texas, we have a quirky, creative, disruptive, iconoclastic, irreverent heart. And with that the opportunity to lean into the creative industries in music, film, food, art and sports. Its now about execution and grit. We can do this. 🌟

Looking forward to Royal Shrovetide 2024 with our invited Ford & Stanley guests and hosts next week!   For those unfamiliar with the event, it takes place in Ashbourne, Derbyshire annually every Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday.   Four facts for those unfamiliar with Shrovetide:   1) Ancient roots: Shrovetide has stood the test of time, tracing its origins to medieval times. 2) Unconventional format: Forget about goalposts and boundaries – in Ashbourne, the entire town transforms into a playground! With minimal rules, the game sprawls across streets, fields, and even the river. 3) Team spirit: the town divides into two teams – the Up'ards and the Down'ards (depending on what side of the River Henmore you were born!) with the goals 3 miles apart. 4) Unconventional football: the ball is larger than a normal football, made from leather and filled with cork (to help it float!).   See you there!

Well, that game certainly didn't disappoint. And the market wasn't bad either. It still remains to be seen whether the powers that be (i.e., the casino owners) want Vegas to host another #SuperBowl, but it seems to have been a great day/weekend/week in Sin City. Let's have another great week by starting it with opening nominations for the Nice Guy/Gal Awards. Every Friday, I’ll share nominations for people who have been identified as nice guys (and gals). If you want to nominate someone, just shoot me a private message by 5:00 EDT on Thursday. There are only 3 requirements: 1) you have to be connected to the person you nominate 2) you can only nominate one person per week 3) you can’t nominate yourself 😀   If you want to provide a brief reason for your selection, that’s great, but it’s not a requirement. Let’s recognize people who make a difference simply by being nice. Have a great day, everyone. https://lnkd.in/ei8mg2Qa   #network #sportsbiz #people #niceguy #networking #sportsmarketing
