Malpas Business Network (BIZNET)

BizNet Networking Evening

6.00 pm on Tuesday 31st January in the Jubilee Hall, Malpas.

Following questions raised by some of the 200 plus individuals that visited our Christmas BizNet promotional outing at Hampton, we have decided to focus on some of the issues that can impact on businesses.

This month's theme termed "Lets talk Business" will take you on an hypothetical "Roller Coaster ride" through the first 5 years of a business.

The interactive discussion will cover some of the major milestones you might encounter along the journey to establishing a sustainable business.

The session should provide you with the opportunity to learn more about what to do, and what not to do, by drawing on the experience of fellow members who have already encountered some of these critical issues.

Light refreshments in the form of tea, coffee, and wine will be provided.

The invitation is open to all businesses so if you have a friend, or colleague, who has not yet had the "BizNet" experience, please feel free to bring them along.

Community Spirit Award

Malpas - Runners Up

Back in April, the Parish Council once again entered Malpas into the West Cheshire Community Pride Award Competition.

One element of the competition, "The Cheshire Community Spirit Award" was people focused with the questions being designed to establish which village exhibited the strongest sense of community spirit.

There questionnaire consisted of 5 categories which were

Community Life - a better place to live

Business - a better place to work

Sustainability - a better future

Communications - being in contact

General - tell us what makes your village special

A entry form was completed and submitted by Cathy Reynolds, the content of which was deemed strong enough for Malpas to progress to the next phase, and on 28th July a small group which consisted of Pauline Plumb, Canon Ian Davenport, Ruth Jacks, Jo Goldthorpe, Eric Beak, Penny Davies, and Chris Whitehurst met 3 of the competition judges to answer their questions and provide further information on village life and activities.

You will be pleased to learn that Malpas were judged as runners up in the competition, and the new Parish Chairman, Adrian Waddelove attended the award ceremony in Ellesmere Port on 6th October to accept the Certificate of Merit and a cheque for £75, which the parish council plan to use in furthering the cause of community spirit.

Just a final memo to all organisations and individuals whose efforts have enabled Malpas to be recognised for its community spirit; thank you all for your support and input in and in the true sense of rallying the troops - keep up the good work.

Look out for the new BizNet Printed Member Directory that is being distributed at the moment.

We have been asked for a simple list of local businesses so we have produced an A5 directory of members of Malpas BizNet. This is small enough to be kept by your phone and used as a reference to what is available.

These have been delivered to every house in the Malpas BizNet Area, if you have a "counter" then please contact us an we will let you have some extra copies to hand out.
