Valentines

Join us tonight as we get into the spirit of Valentine’s for another round of #EYorksHour.

Last week was all about the #hiddengems of East Yorkshire where participants nominated their treasured places to visit, eat, shop, work out, etc. If you missed it, then he is a roundup of how the night unfolded: http://eyorkshour.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/eyorkshour-4th-feb-roundup.html

As you should know (unless you haven’t left the house or switched on the TV and surfed the internet), this week and in particular Friday 14th, celebrates Valentines Day. A day that evolved in the 18th century into an occasion for which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionary and sending greetings cards (known as ‘valentines’). 

For this weeks #EYorksHour we are putting our own twist on the occasion and asking participants to help each other find their match! Those who need another business help or are looking to connect with companies of a similar nature, we ask you to tweet what you need help with and between us we can match you up with the right candidate. 

Just look at us like a virtual cupid as we cast our bow and arrow across the twitter-sphere, coupling up those in need with those who can help!

Are you looking for a local florist? 
Do you need a painter and decorator?
How about wanting to donate to a small charity, but don’t know who to choose?
Are you in need of a new wardrobe?
Do you want to connect with a graphic design company?

Join in with #EYorksHour #Valentines tonight and lets network to match your needs!

Here is an example: 

“I'm looking for a property to rent in East Yorkshire, can anyone match me with a letting agents that can help? #EYorksHour #Valentines”

Then the replies would be to recommend a good match for that ‘need’.

Don’t have a ‘need’ to be matched?

In that case, you can still participate in @EYorksHour by sending a lovely tweet to a business you love and say why, using both hashtags #EYorksHour #Valentines. 

Here is an example:

“In the spirit of #valentines I love @EYorksHour because they help me to make connections across East Yorkshire every Tuesday #EYorksHour”

Why?.. Because it’s nice to feel loved! 

With two options to get involved in tonight’s #EYorkHour, all that’s left to do is pop the kettle on, get comfy and tweet along with #EYorksHour at 8pm - 9pm and if you have any questions, then tweet @EYorksHour 

Tweet you there!
