Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to the Quakers and Business Autumn Conference,
Our theme is “BEST BUSINESS PRACTICE IN UNCERTAIN TIMES”
And we are really lucky to have Gillian Tett of the FT as the keynote speaker.
The day will be packed with learning opportunities, networking time and a chance to reflect on how you and your business are reacting to these difficult times.
We recognized that it’s easier to hold to our principles in the good times, and that these times will test us sometimes to the limit. We wanted to take some time to reflect and build, so that we are more able to find a way through to withstand the pressure. We hope you will join us and that you will go away refreshed.
We do expect a good response to this conference and places are limited so please do book early – you can see the programme and book your place through the Q&B website at www.qandb.org
We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you on the day,

Kent based events organiser, The EcoVillage, go from strength to strength as they prepare for their third year at The Kent County Show this July. The Kent County Show runs from 16th – 18th July at The Kent County Showground, Detling, nr Maidstone.
The EcoVillage is a series of ‘events within an event’ where we use large mainstream events to promote green businesses, products and organisations to a wider audience.

The more people are encouraged to buy products and services from these businesses, the better it is for producers, workers and for our communities. If we ensure that our choices minimise our environmental impact then we give future generations greater choice also.
This year’s area will be bigger and better than ever. It will feature around 70 exhibitors within almost 7000 sq m of space.
Exhibitors at The EcoVillage will range from solar energy to organic clothing, from investments and banking to wildlife days out, food to cosmetics and much more.
Featured within The EcoVillage this year are:

Riverford Organic, sponsors of The EcoVillage Picnic Area who will be bringing their Riverford Cooks Campaign, demonstrating simple hints and tips for beginner cooks as well as serving up seasonal taster snacks. Riverford will also be displaying their full rang e of affordable organic fruit and veg, freshly picked on their farm and delivered to your door.
The EcoVillage Picnic Area
Our traditionally styled Picnic Area, situated in front of the Kent Beekeepers Marquee is a lovely place to relax and take a break from the hustle and bustle of the Show. While you are there, why not try some fair trade, organically produced coffee from Carnival Coffee, or delicious organic, locally produced bhajis and pakoras from Mother Bhumi, who is well known at events all over Kent.
Kidz Organic Baby Change and Feed Area
A great success in 2009, we are pleased to include this area within Market Marquee, which now includes a Baby Feed Area as well as a changing area with two eco changing stations. Also includes a green nappy disposal service provided by EcoSan.
Hidsons of Maidstone will be displaying their range of SEAT Ecomotive vehicles at their hospitality suite. Hidsons have kindly provided a SEAT Leon to The EcoVillage Team again this year, so that our team and all of our kit can arrive in eco-friendly style!
Finally, Grow at Brogdale, known for its work to help preserve the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale in Faversham, will be with us this year, look out for a fantastic hazel roundhouse and garden as you come through Gate 4 into the Show.
Some of our exhibitors: Munchy Seeds, Ecover, Port Lympne, Protect Kent, EcoSwitch, EDF Energy, Energy Saving Trust, Neals Yards Remedies, Kent Wildlife Trust, Goody Good Stuff, Recognise Magzine, Eternal Energy, Wildthing Wildlife Consultants
Victoria Whitlock, Director of The EcoVillage, said:
“We are extremely happy to be at The Kent County Show for the third year running. Despite tough economic times, it shows that environmental issues are very important to people and we can show that there are ways to protect the environment without spending huge amounts of money.”
