Letters, Wood Green Business Fair and Interview

Two contrasting correspondences to be written today. The first concerned the propitious rewording of a client's letter to future partners, adding some positive elements to promote their cause. The second was a more difficult proposition, taking a critical correspondence and drafting a constructive reply that would allow a positive outcome for both parties.

After a speedy lunch, it was off to the Wood Green Business Fair near Godmanchester, to relieve the morning shift of Huntingdonshire Business Network members who had volunteered to assist on the HBN stand at the event.

The exhibition was in full flow and well attended, both in exhibitors and visitors. The afternoon team comprised at least 5 or 6 HBN members, who performed a complex social dance of conversation with visitors, discourse with fellow members and occasional forays into the general melee from our stand.

This was a positive collaborative experience for all of us, promoting both the network and our own businesses. I did not have much chance to do the latter, however did have the opportunity to photograph quite a number of examples of my graphic designs in use by at least three clients.

This year, HBN was the sole stand demonstrating the QR code technology!

I had to retreat from the exhibition hall to listen to the recorded request to comment on Radio Cambridgeshire's Drive Time on my mobile phone. The subject was to opine on the  Local Economic Partnership's (LEP) intention to apply for an Enterprise Zone. Fortunately, I was able to quiz Mr Plant from the LEP and my business colleagues on their views on the matter. A more cynical interpretation was that devaluation had hit TLAs, converting them from three letter acronyms into two letter acronyms.

As usual, my recollection of the actual interview, when it took place later that day, was hazy.
