THE FIBBERS WEBCAM - Pics of the stage are uploaded every 20 mins from
8.30pm to close. Amazingly good quality - you'll believe you're actually
here etc … apologies for occasional pics of PA engineers arse. The

"I still haven't found … what I'm looking for" - is this YOU?
As the song goes! The Fibbers Group is EXPANDING and, as such, we are
looking for more people - and people is the key word. Our staff tends to
stay with us because they feel part of our team and we are again looking
to add to it. If you're a manager/manageress, management couple, chef or
bar worker we want to hear from you. Although we're only three outlets at
the moment, we will be adding to our portfolio so if you're enthusiastic,
hard-working and perhaps a little too individual to be swallowed by a
large company - why not consider working for us? We talk to our managers
every day and work side by side with staff. We are keen on training
courses, giving responsibility and taking on new ideas so if you're
stifled and stymied where you are - drop us a line, in complete
confidence, to Tim Hornsby, The Fibbers Group, PO Box 145, Harrogate HG1
2UD or Email workingwithus@fibbers.co.uk
