The new Clear As MUD forum during the evening will provide members with an update on creative and business developments in the Humber Street/Fruit Market area.

To kick-start networking, everyone attending is invited to bring promotional material with them, including pop-up banners, posters and flyers.

humberMUD chair Mal Williamson said: “We've now settled into our home at Fruit and have enjoyed increasing attendance month-on-month. What we now want to encourage is more networking and to be seen as the place where business can be done.”

The evening starts at 6pm with free food and nibbles plus drinks available from the bar. Presentations take place at 7-9pm and are followed by networking and music from DJ The Reverend.
