Good morning

Following on from our Reading event at The Arches Club, we could well be returning to this venue in July to hold a charity event for Berkshire Community Foundation. We need an event organiser who is just starting out to help with this one... BCF are very well connected in the corporate world so who knows where this could lead for the company that steps up to the plate. Call us on 01753 852904.

May 30th will see our Innovation Showcase opening the doors for innovations to be showcased! If you have a great idea you'd like to get to market or a product that you think might fly on the QVC channel or a new product that would really benefit a specific group of businesses, be they local or international, then you need to get your butt along. Find out more and then call us on 01753 852904. Also, tell your friends with great ideas to come on down!

For all of you in the Creative space there is a networking event tonight at Baylis House, call Bobbi on 01753 476614. The soon to be famous artist Tania Holland will be in the house but if you can't make it you can see her work at The Barn Galleries during May.

Talking of barns, you need to take a look at this Saxon Barn where we will be holding our Innovation Showcase!

Christine could do with an apprentice for the Women in Business space. Do you know how well connected Christine is? Do you think she could help you build your business? If I told you she was one of our top 3 resellers would that make it more interesting? You know who to call!

Enjoy today's news and we look forward to hearing from you about our events, membership options, how to become a reseller or just for a chat... 01753 852904.

Tania Holland

Hello,

I am showing 10 pieces of new sculpture at the annual "Artspace" exhibition near Henley-on-Thames between Friday 11th May and Sunday 3 June. Opening times are 10-5pm and late opening, 10-8pm on Thursdays.

I recommend you visit, as not only will you be stunned by the fabulousness of my work ( I have attached a picture for your delectation), there are 74 other artist exhibiting and the galleries are converted from ancient barns with great views of the surrounding countryside...
