A hibernation of the blog

News will follow.

We're back! (soon!)

Yes folks, the rumours are true: What's Happening in Donny? is due to relaunch from July 2015!

Back with new features:

- Chatbox
- Live Broadcasts

- Forthcoming experimental communication channel: What's Happening in Donny? What's App group chat!

- More to be announced later!

Back with a mission:

To promote Doncaster and its events and become a respectable independent local events blog with associated Twitter.

This will be achieved by providing interesting and up-to-date information about the many great happenings in the borough and border areas together with innovative use of social media. 

Back, more collaborative

We invite all event twitterers to contact us with information on their happenings in order for us to broadcast them.

And we're always looking for writers and contributors to add content like reviews and commentary - do get in touch. 

What's Happening in Donny? in sponsorship deal with Pyramid Education & Training

We're delighted to announce that WHID has made its first business partnership. The deal is with a non-events company, which keeps our independence unswerving, while ensuring a bright future for the blog.

That company is Pyramid Education & Training (PET). PET is a small, professional business providing high quality, cost effective courses in First Aid (general, emergency, paediatric), Defibrillator, Manual Handling, Risk Assessment, Fire Safety and many more.

We encourage any organisation looking for Health and Safety related training to get in touch. Be sure to mention the blog if enquiring!

We also recommend following (and contacting via) their Twitter feed, which currently features a First Aid related tweet each day - this week: "First Aid myths debunked".

Please help support this family run Doncaster business!

A temporary break

Hi everyone,

As your humble blog publisher is currently out of the country, What's Happening in Donny? will be taking a 9 month hiatus. We hope you can get all the information you need about the best goings-ons in the borough from elsewhere. Until summer 2013!
Ben
* Edit: @eventsdoncaster associated twitter is back running but in a subdued fashion!
