Kayte was happy to be invited to lead a deep networking activity at the opening of the Bear Pit Art Gallery in the infamous Bear Pub on Bedford High Street and kind hosts of Creative Bedfordshire's August networking meeting. Using metaphor cards the group, and some members of Bedford's drinking public, used imagery to describe what they wanted to get from the network and what they had to offer. Using the pub as a learning venue was a fun experience, not least because of the free wine. Creative Bedfordshire is the hub of creative enterprise in Bedfordshire, which responds to the needs of individuals and businesses, an up to date resource, valuable to the creative sector and the wider business community countywide, a link to local support, promoting Bedfordshire's creative sector locally, nationally and globally. Their next meeting is on the 2nd Sept at Esquires, Bedford.

The first ever Walkshop took place this week and saw representatives from private business, social enterprise and local council arrive to discuss the benefits and challenges of the private sector and third sector working together. Walkshops are the brainchild of Chris Lee at Social Enterprise East of England, and provide a fresh approach to the usual training and networking format. The first session was facilitated by Kayte at Goodthings. The weather was kind to us and the circular walk and chat in the sensory garden was a welcome break from the usual training room environment. If you have an idea for a Walkshop topic, or route, or would like to attend or lead a walkshop please contact Chris on Chris.Lee@seee.co.uk.

Kayte has been featured on www.businessplusbaby.com talking about her experience of starting a business with a young baby. The site features an array of mumtrepreneurs (easier to type than to say) telling their own stories and offering advice to mums thinking of branching out into business.
