This week Toni and I headed to Manchester to view venues and meet with potential sponsors. Its hard to believe that we're now at the point of full on organising again, we're so excited to for this years event and can't wait to have massive party with you guys all over again. 

So what can we tell you so far? Well.... We're 99% sure of the venue, we're just waiting for contracts to come through, which we'll sign off and then we're all systems go on that front. We're in talks with several huge brands regarding the Premier Sponsor positions. We listened to your feedback last year and instead of having one main sponsor we've opened up 5 spaces, so the catwalk will have more variety.

We have however secured our first Premier Sponsor. The Fabulous Excite Clothing, proving massively popular at last years event, Excite have now come on board to play an even bigger part in this years event, along with their participation in the catwalk, they have donated the HUGEST prize to this years Prize Draw. Details of which will be revealed later on in the year (we have to keep some mystique)

As you may know we love to support small independent retailers too and this year is no exception, first to sign up is Jewellery and Accessories brand Always Be Beautiful

We're also delighted to confirm that SLiNK Magazine are out Media Partners again this year, we love all things SLiNK and hope that you do to!

So there you have it, that's where we're up to so far, don't forget to download your Plus North button for your blog, details here we'd love it if you could support us and help promote the event this year and we'll keep you posted as and when things happen!

Lots of Love
Toni and Becky

I cant believe its taken me all this time to update the blog and for that I apologise. I think once the event was over, Toni and I just wanted to take stock and take a massive breather to think about what to do next... and as we approach the end of the year we're already making plans for Plus North 2013. So now with plans afoot I thought it might be a nice time to look back at Plus North 2012....

Instead of me blathering on for ages I thought it might be nice to pop a gallery of pics up and links to all the blogs that covered the event. My apologies if I missed anyone off, please feel free to leave your links in the comments section!!
