Welcome to Issue #8 of Revive &<br />

Thrive’s Place for Towns and Cities<br />

Magazine<br />

I need to keep this intro short due<br />

to the sheer number of words that<br />

I have poured into this issue. Sorry<br />

in advance for this but hope that<br />

you find at least some of them<br />

interesting…<br />

As well as the great content from UK<br />

places and practitioners, it’s an issue<br />

of invitations.<br />

Firstly, within these pages, we are<br />

inviting you to nominate yourself<br />

or other inspirational people in<br />

your place in our Local Legend<br />

Campaign. The first phase of this<br />

two-year campaign will finish with the<br />

inspirational Local Legend Conference<br />

and Awards Ceremony in partnership<br />

with Northwich BID at the Vale Royal<br />

Abbey on February 22nd and 23rd<br />

2017.<br />

We are also looking for host/partner<br />

towns for our regional events across<br />

the UK in 2017 as well as for the<br />

autumn Conference. Please, let me<br />

know if interested.<br />

Next up, we’re looking for place<br />

leaders and practitioners to join the<br />

Revive & Thrive Non-Executive Board<br />

or our Steering Group. This will<br />

enable you to lead and shape a single<br />

voice and point of contact for BIDs,<br />

Councils, Towns, Cities, High Streets<br />

and other UK Places.<br />

Please contact me direct on 07590<br />

005692 or email mark@reviveandthrive.<br />

co.uk for an informal discussion.<br />

And last (for now – just wait until you<br />

turn the pages…) but definitely not least.<br />

We’ve been researching what people<br />

want from a membership organisation<br />

and have launched a completely<br />

new range of membership levels and<br />

benefits. One of the highlights of the<br />

new benefits is the ability for you to<br />

attend both of our conferences and all<br />

of our regional events (minimum four in<br />

number) in 2017 at no extra cost.<br />

How do we do it? We just want you all<br />

to get together and talk. That’s when<br />

the magic happens.<br />

Have a great month!<br />
