PRIME business club

PRIME will be in attending Brough Community Centre’s first birthday celebrations on the 1st of August. We’ll also be talking to people about their business plans and pointing them in the direction of the free self-employment advice that is available in the Brough, Elloughton and wider west Hull area.

The flooding affecting the UK hit PRIME on Friday the 20th of July, taking out the IT systems, phone lines and post room - all rather unwisely located in the basement of the central office we share with Age Concern in South London. We hope to have all services restored by Friday the 27th, but will keep you informed.

Meanwhile you can type in your post code in the Find Nearest box at top right and get details of a PRIME partner you can contact immediately for business advice. Our events in other parts of the UK are also still carrying on.

You can request a pack from the form on this web site (click the flower growing under a rain cloud), but we may not be able to send them out until our offices open up again.

STOP PRESS (Monday 30th of July 2007)

Everything is now working again.

However, all emails sent to us on between Saturday the 21st of July and Tuesday the 24th have probably been lost. Emails sent from Wednesday the 25th were successfully queued, and we are now working through them.

Here’s a marvelous quote from Hokusai, Japan’s best-known artist, whose woodcut of women diving for abalone we have used in the post above.

“From the age of six I had a mania for drawing the shapes of things. When I was 50 I had published a universe of designs. but all I have done before the the age of 70 is not worth bothering with.

“At 75 I’ll have learned something of the pattern of nature, of animals, of plants, of trees, birds, fish and insects. When I am 80 you will see real progress.

“At 90 I shall have cut my way deeply into the mystery of life itself. At 100 I shall be a marvelous artist. At 110 everything I create - a dot, a line, will jump to life as never before.”

Hokusai
