Next Meeting

Louise suggested a possible southside venue placing for next meeting.
Starbucks in Silverburn is open till 9.30 at night for a possible meeting venue.
When is a good date for everyone, say middle week April ?
They have the massive upstairs seating area which would be empty for an evening meeting with a probable 7.30 start time.
Nice coffee and cakes on hand too.

Kirstin - Fingerprint Jewellery

Our very own Kirstin hit the local press on the 4th March.
You never quite know what the jornalists are going to write, but this is an excellent piece so well done you.
I can also vouch that Kirstin's designs are fab, as we got some charms done for the Grans for Mothers Day.

Here is Kirstin in the press http://www.paisleydailyexpress.co.uk/renfrewshire-news/local-news-in-renfrewshire/paisley-news/2010/03/04/scientist-turns-to-jewellery-maker-87085-25955258/

Planning for Fairs and Networking

The lovely M.T contacted me to let me know about the New Start Buisness Event at SECC this Fri & Sat
http://www.newstartscotland.com/exhibition/

It looks fab and very interesting but won't manage - got work tomorrow and then kids party saturday. So if your going along - get loads of flyers and tell us all about it at the next meet.

A few fairs that I have been told about thanks to Kirstin -
Erskine Christmas cracker directly through Erskine last year with a girl called Cherry Marsden (cherry.marsden@erskine.org.uk) but I actually think you can book onto this and the Kibble Palace Fair through Chuffs. I did this for the two fairs this year through a woman called Annette Hammond-Chambers (nettiehc@yahoo.co.uk / 01721 752237). You apply to Chuffs and they apply to the organiser on your behalf. You just have to send a link to your website so they can view the products before recommending you. The Christmas Cracker is being held in Ingliston again on Thu 18th & Fri 19th November and the Kibble Palace Fair is on 1st & 2nd December. The list Annette sent me said applications by end of March.

Also got note of fair that is on 17th April Bearsden Church email
charityfayre@gmail.com


For those who weren't involved in the wedding fair - it was a good day, with great exhibitors. It could have been busier - but was complimented on the marketing I had done and also the brides who did attend said they had seen it in loads of places. So who knows what else you can do, other than drag them in! We managed to raise £65 for the Prostate Cancer Charity Scotland, of which they have sent a lovely letter to me today. So for those involved thanks so much for all your support, it really means a lot to me. Will fill you in on the behind the scenes version when I see you all.
I have also put the wedding fair guide online as a magazine so have a nosey http://content.yudu.com/Library/A1n422/RenfrewshireWeddingF/resources/index.htm?referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.weddingandbaby.co.uk%2Ffairs.htm
