ChesterfieldOnline has been accepted by Destination Chesterfield as a 'Chesterfield Champion'.

As a Chesterfield Champion in return for helping us to promote the town we will give you the opportunity to have a say and influence the future promotion of the town
I look forward to working with you in the future.

Many thanks

Sadly, we are going to have to decline. The team can't afford the admin costs  ::)

For a sole trader to become a chesterfield champion it costs £100 a year.

But, 'I've' been asked if I wish to be a Chesterfield Ambassador  :)

We also run a Chesterfield Ambassadors course to keep the front line such as yourself up-to-date with what is happening in Chesterfield and the work we are doing at Destination Chesterfield and we would love to have some taxi drivers as part of this scheme.

I haven't asked if there is a cost yet  :-X

Hi Dom.
Just hit a glitch. ChesterfieldOnline is a total non profit organization. We wouldn't gain anything by spending £100.
We might get more members if they saw our link on your website, but that is it.
 
As for me becoming a Chesterfield Ambassador, why don't you join the forum. It's free http://chesterfieldonline.org/ (http://chesterfieldonline.org/)
Let the forum be an Ambassador.
This way, you get to see, and comment, on the members views about Chesterfield, good or bad.
Plus mine as a taxi driver.
 
Sorry if I've wasted your time.
By all means read the forum, you don't need to register to view it.
 
Barry.

I received a reply today  :)
Alsatian, don't you fancy being a 'forum ambassador', don't think I have the time  ;)

Hi Barry,

The Ambassadors scheme is free for residents and front line staff in Chesterfield.  It involves a short workshop on the history and the future aspirations of Chesterfield and in return we ask you to help promote what is happening in Chesterfield.  We have around 100 ambassadors so far and will be running further workshops in the Autumn.

Happy to circulate details to you to include on the forum when we are running the next session.

Many thanks

Dom

Aah - now what has happened to all that spare time I was supposed to get once I'd retired?  :-\
