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!).

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

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
