What's Floating Around Cloud 9? 2nd July

Welcome to another week!

Plans for the revamped CIPR Northern Conference which is now set for the 11th October are taking shape and we should be able to announce a full and exciting line-up in the next couple of weeks. There are opportunities available for anyone wishing to target the PR Community to come along and have a stand at the event - and to network - for just £225+vat, which includes the opportunity to be a delegate at the event. 

Taking place at the Northern Ballet Theatre in Leeds, this is a conference you cannot afford to miss in 2012. Please email paula@cloud9em.co.uk for details.


We're off to take a look at the Beach at the Heart of England Conference centre this week as a potential venue for Fresh 2013. Yes, its a beach in the middle of the country.

Based just outside of Birmingham, this unusual site set in 160 acres seems to have everything from a Beach to a BBQ, with boats, off-road vehicles, purpose built woodland courses, exhibition halls,  conference rooms, a camp site and restaurant bar. http://www.heartofengland.co.uk/index.php/about/1

We might just sort that Fresh Festival 2013 although we are not sure how some of the creative types might feel about camping - or given the industry, maybe that should be glamping!

We've never been fans of camping here at Cloud 9 - frankly if you cannot plug your hairdryer in, we are not interested, but it seems its a growing trend and we found a great website dedicated to glamping http://www.glamping-uk.co.uk/

And we even found somewhere that we might just try one day. "Loch Ness Glamping- glamorous camping in top spec armadillas situated in the midst of the breathtaking great glen, Loch Ness; En-suite, under floor heating, DVD, own BBQ areas, fresh linen and many glamorous extras, Family and pet friendly. The perfect setting to experience your highland adventure."


Moving back inside, we are looking forward to a good do at the Nottingham Belfry this Friday where they are showcasing their banqueting and entertainment skills - which we have no doubt will be excellent.


From its ultra modern design to its enviable location just 1 mile from the M1 and 5 miles from the city centre, The Nottingham Belfry is a stylish oasis of magnificent proportions. When it comes to hotels in Nottingham, the Belfry has it all covered. The geometric design of the building with its walls of glass, coupled with a plush, contemporary interior makes for one very special hotel experience.

As the region’s biggest conference venue, the state of the art facilities can hold up to 700 people across 13 fully flexible conference and meeting rooms. 

Helping to cement its reputation as one of the best Nottingham hotels around, the Nottingham Belfry boasts a luxurious spa that will have you floating up to your room on a cloud of sweet smelling loveliness! Master therapists provide an extensive list of delicious treatments and packages for you to indulge in.


We end the week with something that made us all smile! It's National Shed Week when shed enthusiasts are encouraged to keep an eye on the ShedBlog to discover the Nation's Shed of the Year. This annual event sponsored by Cuprinol is now in its 6th year and it continues to go from strength to strength!

 Those contending to be Shed of the Year range from hut sheds, eco-sheds, pub sheds, summerhouses and even a category called a tardis shed! This year there will even be a special category for International Shed of the Year.You just need to check out the previous Shed Week winners and see - there are some real works of art on show, and an amazing array of different shed uses. http://www.readersheds.co.uk/
