Hi all,


I've just been to my second meeting of this group. They meet once a month in East Dulwich. It's a really useful place for entrepreneurs to meet, get ideas, share skills and basically bounce ideas off each other. I thought it was a great forum and they are looking for more people to attend.


Go to http://mothersinbusiness.co.uk/ for more details and to register for the next session. It's well worth going along.

Hi there,


I am not yet a mum (due to be in Feb 2010) but I am wondering if I can join the ED mums in business, or do I have to be a ready made mum, so to speak!?


I am starting a part-time book selling business for babies, toddlers and beyond as well as selling books of interest to older children - fabulous fiction, sports, art, science, maths and even languages to name a few. Such a shame I missed the event yesterday (12/08/09) as I was trying to contact Marilyn at All Fired Up to see if I could use the back room for my event. It would be great to be able to get into this with MIB support.


I am struggling to find a venue to hold my events as my flat is at the top of a conversion and isn't best designed for many babies and buggies. If you have any ideas of venues, I would be really greatful. I will also be looking to expand the business to local nursaries and daycare centres so again your advice wuld be invaluable.


Anyway, enough ranting, let me know if I can be a mum-to-be- in business and join your forum as it sounds fab.


Thanks,

Fiona

Of course you can. I was just a frustrated HR Manager with a fabrics obsession (nowhere close to having a business) when I started going to the meetings.


It's a pretty informal set up - don't expect power networking, but really great if you need some help getting your ideas off the ground, and especially good for helping you sort out the practicalities of starting a business - there's always someone who has come up against whatever challenge you're trying to work through and can help you get it sorted!

Hi,


I would love to come along...although not too sure if I qualify as I am not a mum (as yet)?! You probably know me as the dance teacher on EDF but I have recently started a new venture-Swiss skincare and would really like to take part in any of your meetings if possible... I am sure these will be of a great help in finding solutions etc...


Many thanks,


Joanna.

Do you think anybody there would like advice on property law - taking a lease of premises, landlord issues, buying business premises etc etc.


I'm a mum/commercial property solicitor and would be happy to come down to one of your events if anybody would like to chat about it.


(although I secretly want to run my own cake shop!).

Hi

Thanks in advance

Hello,


I am a local new Mum. I support my husband's IT business and am a freelance communications consultant, and although I am loving motherhood, a Mums-in-Business monthly meeting sounds an ideal way to keep my brain wired into the business. Please let me know when the November meeting will be and I hope to see you there.


Every success,


Mia

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!

      Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
