Always the ones to encourage ‘outside of the box’ style thinking, we reckon that it could be smashing fun to get one of you lovely Startacus members to pay a visit to the MADE2014 festival in Sheffield and then share the experience with all your fellow self starters in our community.
An excellent idea, if we do say so ourselves, since it will mean that our members will get to hear all about the experience of the festival from the perspective of a typical visitor, and not just from us!
