The Wargrave Professional Business Network
NEXT MEETING:
MONDAY 8th MARCH 2010

The Wargrave Professional Networking Group (‘WPNG’) holds its next meeting on Monday 8th March at Hennerton Golf Club, Wargrave (http://www.hennertongolfclub.co.uk).

The number of regular attendees continues to average 20, with around 80 different business people having attended since it began in December 2008 (we celebrated our first birthday on December 14th at Hennerton Golf Club). It is potentially the most lucrative and cost effective local forum for promoting your business, making new contacts and exchanging leads and business opportunities.

Amongst the business areas represented this month were financial services, human resources, accountancy, marketing, business support and turnaround, CCTV, security, project management, telecommunications, wills & estate planning, household insurance, children’s play programmes, home maintenance and cake/chocolate making/decoration.

A reminder that the only requirement for attendees is that you are interested in encouraging and supporting businesses and business people living or working within a 5-mile radius of Wargrave by introducing new clients, identifying business opportunities and helping each other promote their business or services in the local area.

Please feel free to just turn up – although if you can give an idea of your likely attendance it will help with arrangements. The Group is organised jointly by Sue Ferguson (“Options HR”) and Bob Woodmansee with the room and catering courtesy of Peter and Zara at Hennerton Golf Club.

Please e-mail sueferguson@optionshr.co.uk or Robert.woodmansee@btinternet.com or phone Sue on 940 3032 or Bob on 940 1354 for more details about the WPBN - but all you are required to do if you attend is sign in, hand out your business cards and “network” with fellow attendees. Light refreshments are provided free of charge but bar drinks do have to be purchased. You are free to turn up and leave at whatever time suits – but for those who are still networking at 7.00pm you do have to make the long walk to the bar!!

We look forward to seeing you.
