YNY Networking

YNY Networking is back in Scarborough on Tuesday 3 November, with the morning session running from Smailes Goldie Watson in Eastfield. It's a business networking event, and the room is open to local traders, sole traders, and the council, so it's as much about the people you already know in town as it is about meeting someone new.

If you're a sole trader, you know how easy it is to spend your whole week working from home or tucked away in your own shop, talking to customers but rarely to other people running a business. This is one of those mornings where you can step out of that for a bit and catch up with the local trade. It's a good spot to hear what other small businesses in Scarborough are up to, and it's just as useful for a quick chat with someone from the council as it is for swapping notes with a fellow trader.

Because it's a networking morning, the whole thing is built around talking rather than listening to a presentation. You'll find people from across the local business community there, from the one-person operations to the established traders who've been around for years. It's the kind of thing that works best if you just show up and start chatting, and since it's a morning session, it doesn't eat into your whole day.

It kicks off at 09:00 on Tuesday 3 November at Smailes Goldie Watson in Eastfield, and entry is free.
