I'm lucky enough to be somewhat involved in this project, and also was very privileged to be able to take a tour of it yesterday. It really is a lovely space but it is going to need a LOT of TLC to repair the damage from being left to stand empty and unheated for so many years. I hope that the...

I've started a very casual Drawing Club where people of all ages can get together and doodle/draw/swap tips and stuff! This will be the 5th one and last time we had a really good turn out of scribblers. It is held at Bean Encounter every other Tuesday, it is free and you will also get 20% off...

we also have a Facebook page, of course! https://www.facebook.com/thestarttrail

Hi everyone, I'm part of a group of college students who are organising the STart Trail, a week long event that involves ten artists and ten venues in Stafford town centre. It launches tomorrow at the Ancient High House, where there will be a small exhibition as well as a guided walk of the...

Helloo everyone! We're still going, and if anything the market is having a bit of a revival of sorts, there are quite a few new stalls opening up....a record shop, shoe shop, Paramnesia has moved in as well as a couple of others, come down and have a shufty! The D33 is still going, and...

I have heard rumours that a telephone mast in/near Stafford has been taken down recently (maybe by the old police station) and it hasn't been replaced, which is why it is so terrible. As good as any other explanation I suppose!

Sorry Vodaphone, I'm leaving you too in December. I've been with them for years but the reception is SO BAD in Stafford town that I am going to take my business elsewhere. What would people recommend as the best provider for this area?

https://www.facebook.com/events/629031837137174/ Morning everyone, on Friday a friend of mine is organising a charity coffee morning at the Met Gatehouse Theatre. I'm going to go along as The D33 and it'd be great if you're around on Friday morning if you could pop in, there will be several...

Haha, I vaguely know Ingrid, she's potty but in a good way, that was funny and somewhat unsurprising to see her on there!

Hello! This printer works, only the nozzles are blocked on the blue and yellow so it's all red. I am certain it is fixable but frankly I needed an excuse to buy an A3 scanner/printer and this was good enough for me! It's a really good little wireless scanner and printer, I'm only asking...

I met up with Boo today, she is so enthusiastic and her idea sounds smashing, I really think it will bring a lot of interest and attract more people to the market, particularly younger people. She's booked a stall and it's all systems go! Toot toot!

ah ok, I'll come in tomorrow then for a bit. did you say around 12:30?

Yay! Thanks Boo! The people at the market are really friendly and so keen to see the place prosper again, it's definitely getting better, the market is at 80% capacity at the moment and they are trying their best to promote the place. A lot of people have told me they stopped going in because it...

OOh, a new stall? Come and join us, it's fun! https://www.facebook.com/TheD33 You could also pop in when it is open, Beverly (I think) is the name of the lady who is in the office. I'f you ask one of the stall holders who to speak to I'm sure they would be happy to help you (I'm in tomorrow...

We one had a very long and boring argument once at a party about whether someone's jumper was blue or purple. It was late and we were drunk! It seems to be a common thing, mixing up blue and purple (those ribbons look blue to me too)

I've worked in big multinational companies and it is almost always the front-line staff that get the kicking. The middle and upper management set these ridiculous targets and goals, then they can blame the poor grunts when these arbitary targets aren't met. Then it's not THEIR fault that the...

Oh also, do any of you know of any picture framers that may be interested in advertising in our stall? We've had SO many people ask us if we mount pictures, it would be nice to be able to refer them to someone. A couple of the other galleries offer this service but I dunno, it'd be nicer to be...

Well our first week went ok, we actually sold some stuff which was great! Thanks to everyone who has popped in and even more so if you've bought something!!

We're opening today! If you can battle through the rain we'd love to see you there!

What about Nandos, for some reason that seems to get people really excited. I've never been there, I am suspicious of the zeal with which people seem to display about their chicken. It makes me wonder what their 'special stuff' is...!
