Doesn't time fly when you are enjoying yourself!! It hardly seems a week since I sat down to write the latest blog, and here we are again beginning to get this weeks blog post ready.
Meeting with Scott Chambers of Bolsover District Council
Scott is the Communications, Marketing and Design Manager, for Bolsover District Council & I met with him on Monday, to talk about ways in which Old Bolsover Yard (OBY) might be able to work with the Council, and contribute toward the growth of Bolsover.
We had a wide ranging discussion, and Scott is going to bring the BDC Cabinet Member for High Streets, Councillor Steve Fritchley, to see what we are doing at OBY.
The Council has a number of initiatives that it is working on including a new TV channel which will feature local businesses, as well as articles in Council publications, and OBY is destined to feature in some or, if we are very lucky' all of these in the coming months.

Tourist Information comes to Old Bolsover Yard....
One of the things that we have not got in Bolsover is a Tourist Information Office - somewhere that visitors can find out more about things to do, places to go in the area.
So, as ever, having identified the problem, we have done something about it. From late February we will have tourist information available in OBY.
We will be getting an information rack that will have details of things happening in the area, places to visit, and every month the information will be updated, with the old out of date information taken away & all new information replacing it.
Initially, the information stand will be located in Unit 1, but may get re-located at a later date.
For OBY this means another reason for visitors who come to the town to come and visit us, and for us to tell them & show them what we are doing.
Another example of the Old Bolsover Yard - "Never miss an opportunity" mantra, and an opportunity to talk to visitors about Bolsover and local area.

Just a reminder that the Beehive Cafe will be closed from 6th to 21st February.
We wish Michelle & Nick a restful holiday on the high seas, and look forward to seeing them back, so that we can be jealous of their sun tan!!
