This week we asked our networking participants to help us find East Yorkshire’s hidden gems, with an aim to grow the network of #EYorksHour and provide a few ‘shout out’s’ to the treasured places we like to visit, eat, shop, work out, be entertained and even do business.
Many joined in using the hashtags #EYorksHour and #hiddengem and made their recommendations, which in turn sparked up some interesting conversations and a few bonus thank you tweets from their chosen gems.
Now, if there was an award or two for the top contributors of this weeks theme, they would go to @pierce_jo and @RPMSLetting. Both tweeters took on the challenge and nominated a considerable amount of East Yorkshire delights, which demonstrates great networking etiquette and deserves a virtual high five for doing so!
Here is a list of their hidden gems:
@cottinghamparks @cobieatkin @MarkThompsonPGA @tristanbuttle @jessicajo_uk @harpersbizarres @oswellnrose @Theangelshare @TheShedBeverley @Camdenscloset @LilBirdBoutique @thebreadshed @WhiteRabbitChoc
This is what they had to say about East Yorkshire:
“ From the cosmopolitan city of Hull to the undulating hills and valleys of the Yorkshire Wolds, East Yorkshire is wonderfully eclectic. At its heart lies a serene landscape of swirling grasslands, mediaeval towns, manor houses and Bronze Age ruins that remains refreshingly unchanged. Yet travel further North and the vibrant energy and heritage of the Humber rushes to greet you. ”
Slightly off the subject of hidden gems but focusing more on our networking powers, East Riding College are currently looking for businesses to provide creative student placements based around graphic design, filming, editing, audio, radio, photo, advertising, gaming and interactive media. Please tweet @Eastridingmedia if you can help.
Congratulations also to Kickstart Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Support who have officially become a registered charity this week after their first six months of fundraising to provide young cancer sufferers in East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire with funding and grants for activities, workshops, seminars and events. If you would like to support Kickstart TYACS, or know someone who could benefit from a Kickstart, then please check out their website: www.kickstartcancersupport.com or tweet them @KickstartTYACS

Final note:
Did you notice that #spotlight60 didn’t start this week? That is because we want to schedule guests in advance to help promote their business/cause/event further. If you would like to be in our spotlight, then please read further information HERE and email your interest to eyorkshour@gmail.com
Thank you to everyone who participated, we look forward to tweeting you again next Tuesday between 8pm - 9pm.
Have a brilliant week!
