the Shop. There will also be talks on How to Start Your own Café and How to Launch Your<br />
Own Airline from people who have done it, and lived to tell the tale.<br />

different business groups, is already the networking capital of Britain. This is an<br />
opportunity to widen the town’s horizons and win the town an international reputation for<br />
