Wintersun the famous rock and roll nostalgia festival, which is being held on

Wintersun organiser Barry McNamara explains the appeal of the festival.
"There is nothing that compares to the Wintersun Festival. The fantastic
location, Rock and Roll, cool cars and great people is what sets it apart from
other events," Mr McNamara said.
"Wintersun is a community owned and driven festival therefore the support of
businesses like BBX is important to its success," he said.
Michael Touma, Managing Director of BBX, says he is looking forward to this
year's festival and continuing BBX's relationship with Wintersun in the years
ahead.
"This is the second year BBX has been involved and the festival is a wonderful
experience for families and visitors to the Gold Coast. We are very proud to be
a part of this initiative," Mr Touma said.
"We will have our own stall and representative at the festival. This means we
can raise awareness amongst local businesses and the wider community about the
benefits of BBX and our new services such as BBX Money," he said.
BBX Holdings Limited successfully listed on the ASX in August 2005, becoming the
only exchange in the world to be publicly listed on a main board.
BBX is a membership based trading program whose primary role is to generate new
opportunities for all types of businesses and to show business owners how to
offset many current cash expenses by utilising the down time and idle inventory
in their business.
For accounting and taxation purposes, the exchange uses BBX dollars, a currency
unit having equivalent value to Australian currency, to assign value to the
transactions that take place between member businesses. In essence, the exchange
provides a sophisticated market where thousands of transactions take place on a
cashless basis.
BBX has offices throughout Australia and operates in New Zealand through a
master franchise. Through their BBX accounts, member businesses in these
countries traded in excess of $146 million in the financial year ending 30 June
2006, averaging over $33,000 per member. BBX has recently expanded to India,
China and Vietnam through master franchise arrangements with further
international expansion being pursued.
