We look forward to meeting you there!

What a summer ..... if you're a duck!

Well the weather this summer has been appalling. I drove to Barnsley and back yesterday in the pouring rain. Good job the competition we were attending was indoors!

We will be organising a local competition to be held towards the end of September this year. It will be held in Liverpool and we are hoping to attract several hundred visitors. There will be a limited amount of advertising space and we will be looking for sponsors for the event. Anybody interested in some local advertising please let me know.

More details will be made available when we have finalised the date/venue.


By the way, the club came home with 1 bronze, 1 silver and 2 gold medals - not a bad haul for only 4 competitors.

Long Time .......

OK, so it's been a few weeks since I last updated the blog - been Sooooo busy.

For those of you who don't remember, the August meeting is Tonight, 8th August. We are hoping to see a few new faces along with some old ones who couldn't make Tuesday nights.

Paul is running his little competition, prize is a meal for 2, for the person who brings the most guests between now and the end 0f November. Remember to let one of us know that a guest is yours so we can keep track!

For the coming months we are going to try to include a weekly networking tip both here and in the newsletter. Anybody not receiving the newsletter should let me know ASAP so we can rectify that.

For those of you interested in contributing to this blog with tips and ideas for better networking then please drop me a line via the WBa website. I'll be happy to share the workload!

Pass the word around to your friends and associates to checkout the blog on a regular basis and we hope to see you all tonight. Remember to bring a guest!

Mad March Hairs?

Another great night! A full room and plenty of great feedback.

I've been requested to open the blog to more people. Some invites have gone out today so look out for other people's posts here in the near future!

Remember you can always comment on any of our posts and add info about any of our events by selecting the 'comments' option at the bottom of a post.

If you'd like to be more of a contributor then please let me know and we'll invite you to join.

Have a great month and we'll see you all again in April!

February is fab!

Well last night went really well. We had plenty of new people turn up and great feedback. Looks like we could be growing quicker than expected.

There were some missing faces due to illness - we hope they all get better soon.

We've been asked if we are going to do any presentations - there are no plans at present but if we get enough requests we'll consider it (they would be kept very short though).

Thanks again to Paul for giving his support (and the venue) and for the bowls of hot chips that appeared on the tables half way through the evening. We do appreciate all the help he and Justine give for free. Without their support we couldn't run these evening on a free basis. So everybody should get down to The Chimneys on other occasions too.

All ready for the next meeting? Good, why not bring a friend!

Brilliant!

Well last night couldn't have gone better. The first meeting of 2007 was well attended and there was a real buzz in the air. Some new faces came, along with some old ones.

It was quite hard to get around everybody for a chat but between my WBa partners and I we managed to speak with all those who attended. Everybody is already looking forward to next months meeting and ALL the newbies said they would be back.

Some great discussions were had. The support side of the meetings really emerged this time with people talking of problems they were having and others offering possible solutions. Anthony Peake sold another 2 books, fresh from his success at his 'Borders Bookstore' book signing last Saturday.

The meeting went on until just before closing time and the last of us didn't get home until just before midnight. It was well worth the effort though.

We are looking forward to seeing everybody again in February.

Happy New Year

Well this year has begun really well - I started with a stinking cold on New Years Day. At least I should be fine by next Tuesday for the first meeting of the year.

Hopefully all the meetings for 2007 will be as good as last year if not better. I've had confirmation from a couple of new people of their attendance. I hope to see all last years businesses too.

Hope you acheive all the success you deserve over the coming year!
