Change of Plan

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

You may have noticed there has been a distinct lack of studio progress recorded on the blog lately.  The main reason for that is the economic recession.  We have had to rethink our original studio plans to take account of the fact that our members may not be able to afford what we would have to charge to cover the outgoings on our planned studios in Howe Bridge Mill, Atherton.

Algonside that, Bolton Council Development & Regeneration Department have been encouraging us to open studios in Bolton.  So we have put the Howe Bridge Mill premises on hold for the time being while we explore opportunities in Bolton which, due to the economic downturn, may now be within our financial reach. 

Another reason for not updating our progress on the blog is that some of our negotiations can be business sensitive.   So from now on we will continue to keep our members informed via the website, but we will only post progress on the blog when we have something definite to report.  Hopefully, that will be sooner rather than later.
