All the latest news from the Bazaar!
18.11.12 - Updated the website with a useful section on HMRC, self employment, tax and insurance
17.11.12 - Promo stuff from BHF arrived today! And confirmed a Reiki and Crystal Healer will be offering treatments in February too :)
14.11.12 - Been busy busy busy...too busy to keep on top of the news it seems! So...I've been offere a spot at the Vintage Pamper Evening @ Blondie's Tea Room on 29th November to do a spot of networking. Opportunity for me to speak to stallholders and for stallholders to speak to each other. Also arranged a more official networking event in January with Charms and Chains offering their shop in Hanley as the venue. The 3rd February event is going to appear in the Prototype Magazine's list of 2013 events. Unfortunately, Tesco confirmed that I can't have a table at the entance to their store to advertise the event the weekend before which is really disappointing. But if I send a poster into Morrisons in Festival Park they'll display it on their notice board for staff upstairs which has over 400 people in it each week! I wrote an article for The Sentinel, which not only got published but was also seen and attracted people to the facebook page http://www.thisisstaffordshire.co.uk/Stoke-Craftworkers-Bazaar/story-17189551-detail/story.html
