Business in the Arts:North West is a small charity which exists to bring business skills and experience to the arts in ways that are beneficial both to business and to the arts. We aim to help arts and creative organisations improve their business operations at the same time as providing stimulating and challenging development opportunities for business people.
We are keen to recruit volunteer marketing advisers for our Skills Bank, a project-based programme through which business managers and professionals provide guidance to cultural managers, working towards specific objectives and transferring skills along the way. Examples of current opportunities are:
The programme requires a commitment of just a few hours per month, and gives you the chance to get out of your comfort zone and try out your skills in a new and interesting environment. For CIM members, CPD points can be earned towards your Chartered Marketer status.
Non-marketeers are also welcome, as we have a range of opportunities for people with business skills through both the Skills Bank and the Better Board Bank, which matches appropriately skilled people on to the boards of cultural organisations.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK...
"My friends and I recently had a group mum and tot session with our 5 children. Barry and Louise were very professional and really worked hard to put us all at ease in order to capture some natural shots. We didn't want the usual 'formal' posed style photo's, but some that captured our kids playing together with us in a more relaxed way - and the pictures Louise & Barry took were just perfect. The other mums and I would be more than happy to recommend Barry Wood Photography.
Thanks so much for capturing our memories in an innovative way - and for putting up with our 5 little terrors!!"

As you know, we rarely mess around with our pricing, in fact we haven’t put up prices in years! But we are sorry to say that the time has come – VAT and other costs are going up and we are trying to continually improve what we offer to our members, and as such we do have to make a few changes.
However, before we get into that, we would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our loyal annual members, as it is you guys that pin all this together.
The new pricing is as follows:
We have some exciting plans ahead for Thirsty Thursday as we hurtle towards our 9th birthday including more events, more features on our website and most importantly even more value for your membership.
Handbags and jewellery to buy, complimentary treatments from Clarins, free drinks and nibbles. It’s not like we ask our members to go ski-diving for charity, now, is it?! We recently held our first event for TT Leeds’s nominated charity Breast Cancer Haven where members were asked to donate their ‘pre-loved’ bags and buy others’ donations with all funds going to the Haven’s valuable work right here in Yorkshire.
We’re now well into triple figures of our fundraising total for Breast Cancer Haven, with many more events planned for 2010. Watch this space for more details…
We are currently looking for partners to run Thirsty Thursdays in Preston and Liverpool (as well as looking for people interested in launching other new regions).
This a a fab opportunity for anyone who wants to run their own business, with at least 2 days a week to spend on it.
You need to love Thirsty Thursday, meeting people and all things pampering.
For more information email emma@thirstythursday.co.uk
Thirsty Thursday is looking for a resident photographer who can work with us to take great snaps at all of our events.
Ideally female, you need to be able to attend evening events and take good quality reportage style shots to be provided digitally for us to use.
If you are interseted in getting involved contact emma@thirstythursday.co.uk
In January Thirsty Thursday is celebrating its 8th Birthday!
We can't beleive it's 8 years since our first event, in Manchester at Tiger Tiger - how far we have come - and how proud we are that we still have with us some of those attendees from that first event.
Thanks to all of you for a fab 8 years, and looking forward to another 8 on top!
