Looking out of the window from my desk, it is pouring with rain, and the forecast is for high winds. But are we disheartened at Old Bolsover Yard? - 'No we are not!'
Another week gone and another one to look forward to - so let's get started

Tourism Leaflet Swap
Tomorrow (Thursday 14th) we are off to Buxton to the Tourist Board Annual Tourism Leaflet Swap.
This event gives businesses the opportunity to tell each other about what they do, and to make sure that their promotional material is out in as many places as possible.
A first year for us, so we are going to be waving the flag for OBY, and talking to people like B&B businesses, tourist information centres etc. and making sure that when their visitors as that question - "Where do you suggest we go for a day out today" - they tell them about us & about Bolsover.
We have a photographic display of our tenants and their offering, and also information about Bolsover itself, as well as some samples of the work being done by our tenants.
And lots & lots of leaflets to give away!
Working on the principle that if 'you don't tell them about, for sure they will never come'
We'll let you know how it went next week

English Tourism Week
Another chance to get involved in spreading the word, and so we have sent off press releases to the organisers & hope that they might give us a mention.
Also we will be using the logo of the week in all the things that we do.
Can't say we aren't trying!!

Meeting with Bolsover District Council
As part of an ongoing dialogue between Old Bolsover Yard & Bolsover District Council about trading in the town & related matters, we will be welcoming Councillor Steve Fritchley, the Cabinet Member for Town Centre Renewal, Media & Marketing, along with Scott Chambers, Communications, Marketing and Design Manager at Bolsover District Council, to Old Bolsover Yard this coming Friday.
We are hoping for a wide ranging discussion including opportunities that might be available through initiatives like the Future High Streets Fund, which was launched by the Government at the end of last year.
It is important for us to continue to nurture these links, if we are going to be able to move forward in the coming years.
More information on the meeting next week.

Forthcoming Events reminder .......
During the last week we have updated the information on the Courtyard Programme page of the website, to give a bit more of a flavour of what to expect at each of the events currently confirmed.
And just a gentle reminder that spaces still exist at our Yarn Shop Event & the Cake Bonanza event which is part of the Bolsover Food & Drink Festival 2019
