Bump and beyond: The saga continues

Had  a successful day at the Bump and beyond Fair on the 22nd of May.  Acquired a few names and addresses for the mailing list, met a few old friends and made some new contacts.  Now going to try and have a few days off (sort of), but the phone will have to stay switched on!  I am now a one woman band as my business partner was unable to commit to the challenges of a new business. I do have lots of support from friends and family however who have helped with areas such as publicity, funding, photography and graphic design to name but a few.

Bumps and beyond fair. 22nd May 11am until 4pm. Marriot Hotel

Well, we're all set for the baby fair. The advert goes out in the Yorkshire Evening Post on the 19th of May.   Lots of interesting exhibitors should be there.  I am hoping we will get a chance to do a bit of networking.  Have a 'Bumps on a boat' event lined up for 18th July, so hoping to generate some interest in that.  Getting a few requests now from students wanting to do a bit of voluntary work with us.  Unfortunately we don't feel that we are really set up for that yet.  Hopefully, we will be able to offer this at some time in the future.  Still plodding my way through my accounts; trying to get everything on to spreadsheets (not my forte).  Also had eye surgery last week which is slowing me down a little more than anticipated! Got a bit of funding now but it has been swallowed up by the set up costs!
