Taking the Proverbial? – The Well Being Shows are a Community-driven organisation and transparency is the centre of its success. If we are to evolve successfully, there is an imperative need to answer will ‘o the wisp gossip and clarify the perspective by answering charges against our methodology. Our long term plans involve ‘Show Ambassador’s involving mutually advantageous contracts. There must be NO room for damaging the ethos of our work. Our transactions must be seen as glass clear, without a hidden agenda.
Be sure within your mind: The organisation cannot suffer from sleight: material aspects of the shows are healthy, and this is so because we invest in the future of The Community: Those who chose to sleight the organisation, in fact, damage The Community. When a visitor decides not to attend a show because of the non-factual comment. The gossiper damages the community, not the organiser. In any instance when a Visitor sends us an email which contains information potentially damaging to The Community. Be assured we will robustly stand our corner. We NEVER let something lie and hope it will go away.
The shows are NOT organised for profit: We organise each show on a ‘stand-alone basis’. A concept which makes the next show better, more interesting, more entertaining and better attended. Our focus is on continuous reinvestment and strength of The Community. The last three years of working toward these certain objectives evidence this commitment to the foundational precepts.
Inaccurate comments and gossip do not help with The Community’s longterm success and prosperity. This post is a reply to an email sent in by a Visitor: Of course, people are welcome to draw their own conclusions however in this situation it seems prudent to offer a clear and open reply. These are three of the inaccurate comments mentioned in the email. The writer says they were informed while talking about the new Nottingham venue that:
‘Most Community Members do not like the Jubilee Conference Centre.’
and
‘LizianEvents used structural alterations made at the previous Nottingham venue as an excuse to move to The Jubilee Conference Centre.’
because
‘LizianEvents are driven by money and have no real interest in the community idea’
In this instance, archive articles support our viewpoint: Your attention is drawn to the 03.02.19 LEN Article: The article clarifies our situation and feelings at the time: This is ESSENTIAL reading as it clearly defines our reasoning for the move click the link and read the reality of the reasons to move on at the time: “Fairwell Trowell – Hello New Venue”.
Another definitive answer to the first comment is to review the attending Community list for the March 2020 Nottingham Well Being Show: Eighty per cent of the Attending Community made the last show a brilliant success and return to attend the March 2020 Well Being Show:

The Mind is a receiver and a transmitter: When the root cause of a problem is in the spiritual dimension, then it needs to be counteracted or treated by some method that is spiritually more potent than the cause of the problem. This is termed as spiritual healing. It involves the use of spiritual energy to overcome the problem… When conducted in a group the healing is therefore amplified and becomes that much more potent.
John Richardson is an empathic, compassionate and gifted healer: His credo of one Universal Consciousness and holism-recognition of the sacred trinity, Body, Mind and Spirit, and that no attempt should be made to cure the Body without consideration of the Soul; along with a steadfast belief and prodigious understanding of the Mind’s fathomless powers allows for extraordinary healing, especially in times of hopeless and helpless need

Vibrational Frequencies and How they can bring balance into your life
Everything in the universe is made up of energy vibrating at different frequencies. Even things that look solid are made up of vibrational energy fields at the quantum level. Bio-resonance fine-tunes your energetic body, clears blockages and balances you at your core cellu-lar energetic level and helps you to return to equilibrium. When your energy field is in balance and harmony, the physical body also experiences optimal health. Using Bio-resonance energy balancing tools can bring about the incredibly subtle and deep healing, yet it is painless, safe and totally non-invasive. As a transformation modality, bio-resonance is a comprehensive and powerful tool for energy balancing and healing on all levels of your Being: Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual.

Conclusion and Reply to the Third Comment:
The answer to our evolution and growth is discovered within the foundational ethos of the shows: We are a community-driven organisation. We are tasked by our ‘Governance Document’ to provide Visitors and Community with venues which allow for expanding interaction and prosperity. This means better and stronger shows will inevitably become the result of the Community’s success. Success does not specifically mean a higher profit margin for the organiser: Success is gauged from the quality of shows/events and Visitors experiences. More talks and presentations and facilities are recognised as an indication of positive evolution:
Defining answers to the email which expressed concerns about our motives and lack of empathy or listening to Community concerns are these:
Our policy is to provide the best and highest quality of venue and Visitors experience. We are an open community, and as organisers, we listen and act on the input of Visitors and Community. Indeed, anyone wishing to contribute to this post, please do so, and we will work on the majority of comments.
An essential aspect for all to consider is The Community is damaged by inaccurate information. As organisers, we are the hub of information, and always listen to comments and suggestions: Why else would we have doubled our overheads with the same previous events turnover at The Community’s Newark Well Being Show? We could not make this choice from a financial perspective. No, the change was made for the future and long term health of The Community-driven events. We invest in the future of The Community and listen to the wishes of Visitors and Community.
Community: We are a Community-driven organisation. And it is essential to protect and safeguard the immense input and contributions made by The Community over the last six years. Of course, not everyone understands or accepts the Community concept or see the power of the now thriving Community influence. As organisers, we sometimes have to make difficult and seemingly unfair choices. However, we make decisions based on the future and prosperity of the majority of Community Members, not on people who decide to undermine a large group of people’s efforts and commitment in time, money and dedication.
Finally:
We ask readers to guide us on how to put fifty-two Community Members with their ninety tables and equipment and fifty talks and workshops into the previous venue. Of course, someone out there clearly understands the physics of Dr Who’s Tardis. If we knew this secret we could increase Community and Talk numbers and put on the show in our living room 🙂
See You at the Well Being Show.
Be reassured that I have heard none of those comments.
The Jubilee Conference Centre seems fine to me. Every location has its advantages, and disadvantages, it is up to the Promoter and Exhibitors to make the most of the advantages. If the show is good, and the visitor experience strong, that will prevail.
In business, if you stand still, you go backwards, as things improve around you. You explained the rationale of the move from Trowell well at the time on LEN, and in person. I think that most back your drive to improve and evolve. You can either make things happen, let things happen, or wonder what has happened! The only constructive query I had heard raised was why Barrie’s “Pure Spirit”, a niche show aiming at smaller events, had not snapped it up?
Promoters, and Exhibitors, need to make a profit to do what they do. How you do it is the important thing. You do things, you try things, everyone has a choice. Any promoter trying to get rich quick will not last long, the longevity and evolution of what you are doing is there for all to see.
Thanks for your words Gary: The email recieved was clear and from a long standing Visitor who has become a good friend. As you know we robustly defend our work and the commitment and investments made by Community Members. I believe we have to push the boundaries and make LizianEvents Organised shows a recognised lamp-lighter of change and innovation. Indeed in recent negotaitions LEN and man of the articles became a substantial ‘weight’ of eveidence which helped us to gain an advantageous asset.
As to the Pure Spirit question! I answer net time I see you 🙂
Kind Regards – Ian
The above was by me, Gary Longden, I have no idea why it came up as anonymous!
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Why have I been attending LIZIAN EVENTS as a VERY satisfied EXHIBITOR = Community member’, for several years now? BECAUSE I feel safe & looked after by our organizers Liz Clark & Ian Timothy ,who definitely are NOT ‘driven by money’ and also have an astoundingly GENUINE warm & caring interest in & respect for the Community that we are forming’. 🙂
Moreover I admire they constantly share / explain their exciting & financially sensible future plans with us= everything is crystal clear, fair to all because their view is to do WHAT MATTERS & HELPS our Community and our VISITORS! Hence their NOT cramming halls with multitude of the same rehashed products (just to fill tables)… regardless of the fact it would then be boring to the public & detrimental to exhibitors as there’d be too much impossible competition.
Instead they HAVE EXPERTISE & VISION to offer: Variety, comfort, caring for people’s Well Being, inspiration, upliftment, novelty, new ideas. At lower prices than the greedy run-of-the-mill hall hirers who screw poor exhibitors elsewhere! – The fact some JEALOUS people try & copy & even attack LIZIAN is a compliment 🙂 They are frustrated to see a SUPERBLY ORGANISED & SUCCESSFUL Lizian Community caring for each other & cared for by Liz & Ian- Our Community & our dear Visitors ARE the LUCKY ONES….Advice? Do not listen to pathetic gossips. Join us & see how enjoyable it is to be part of Liz Lizian Events 🙂
Kind words my friend: xxx
