FULL English and coffee will be on the menu at the next meeting of the new Northallerton Retail and Business Forum.

Member Stewart Bankier, who runs Café Natural in the High Street, is host for the new group’s meeting at 8am on April 10.

He said: “We are looking forward to supporting the forum by offering the opportunity to meet in a different environment. We hope that a hearty breakfast will get tongues wagging and encourage new members to come and join us.”

The forum was established in November 2012 to address the lack of any group to represent business interests in North Yorkshire's county town.

Membership is free and open to any business in the DL6/DL7 area. For more details, visit its Linkedin group or Facebook pages, or follow it on Twitter - @NorthallertonBz.

* Breakfast will be anything from a bacon roll to a full English and coffee or tea for £4. Advance notice of attendance would be appreciated: contact Stewart Bankier by April 8 on 01609-773627 or info@cafenatural.co.uk.
