Some of you may have heard that there is an new group in Crowland that is for the people who run small businesses in the town. It's a networking group that we hope will attract people who work from home as well as those who are more visible in the community. The emphasis on on 'informal' so we don't propose to have formal meetings, roles or minutes etc. Rather it's to get to know what businesses are around, and to support each other in growing those businesses.

If this doesn't apply to you but you know someone who i t does apply to please pass on the information and get them to e-mail me @ This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so we can get them involved. We no longer have a Chamber of Trade in the town.

It's already paying dividends in that knowing who does what means we can refer people to local businesses.
