Enterprise

These are the voyages of the starship enterprise...
It's ten year mission to boldly go where no vicar has gone before.


If only the reality was like the programme.
I have spent the day thinking about enterprise. This morning at the ERDF funding panel to which I am now elevated, so another opportunity for me to sit in my wooley pulley with a bunch of suits looking baffled! It was interesting though that the besuited ones all seemd to think that enterprise and encouraging entrepeneurs involved big buildings and learning. Given that most entrepeneurs are by definition at least in the early days on their own, they needed a friendly should to lean on and a small space to work in. In adition they need the encouragement of those who have succeeded to sieze the day and continue.
Spent the afternoon looking at plans for the square outside the church hall. Of many exciting moments was the one when we wanted to put something in the middle fo our New Market Square scheme and realised that we should have a new modern market cross.
We also realised that we could do something amazing to our large urban village, create a new market town...
As we did this we could also incubate (old word new context for me) new businesses in our area.
Now that really is boldly going where no man has gone before.
