Tyranna Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 One suggestion dean1066 if i may. As this is for new businesses (the owners of which may well be strapped for cash and time) (i know i am )can i suggest that we simply meet in a good quality, quiet, pub once a month on a quiet night like Monday. We only need to chat to each other in a nice setting rather than make something of the event that it isn't. Cheers! This kind of meeting would suit me fine; I have a number of ideas ready to roll, re. original designs and recycling, but I really do need advice re. patents/design Right, income tax, books, and support services.

looby lou Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Is this at city limits? Its quite expensive there, plus not a great fan. Attended a wedding fayre and bought a coffee, which they served in a paper cup, I burnt my hands and when I asked for a real cup or mug they said no because I might break it....what a joke!!! plus parking is a nightmare, so I would prefer a city centre venue, I am sure there are loads of bars/pubs we could approach for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why i have been brought in to develop the events and meeting side of things. I assure you the standards at city limits are a lot better now.

sharpend Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi agree with that too. I have reduced the amount of money I spend on attending networking events as all you end up doing is financing someone else's business if you end up at too many. It's valuable time out of your business, in addition to the cost to attend and not all events end up being relevant or useful. Thats very true - (the only people who seem to do well are printers printing business cards and people sellig stuff telling you how to be a better networker) Best to keep it relaxed and lowkey.

looby lou Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Low key sounds good! are we trying for a city centre venue or taking dean up on his offer?
