Village SOS is hosting free events on community enterprise, including one in Doncaster for Yorkshire and the Humber:

Venue: Doncaster Racecourse, Doncaster
Wednesday 19 October 2011, 10:00 - 4:00

The event will include information on how to start your own community-owned project, workshops and exhibits, advice from sector specialists such as Plunkett Foundation, and it's partners Co-operatives UK, Locality and Action With Communities in Rural England (ACRE). There is also a free lunch provided.

There will also be people sharing their experiences about community enterprises from real life community enterprises, such as shops, pubs, broadband projects and a transport scheme, as well as stars and business experts from the BBC One series Village SOS, including Taste Tidewell's Pete Hawkins and ‘village champion' Tim Nicol.
