July 2003 - Networking Evening

An open evening for Networking was the theme of the evening, with several members displaying their goods and services as an opportunity for others to learn more about what their businesses have to offer.

Members at the Cherished China Table

Following a very tasty ‘barbeque’, six of the Club’s members had the opportunity to speak about their businesses in greater depth and anecdotes were amusing and colourful. Members who took part in the Networking talks were Brenda Locke, of Datacounts; Jill Ricketts, who spoke about Gossamer Designs and Ying Li accessories; Mandy Hobson of Cherished China; Ann Edwards of Edwards Southern Catering; Karen Hopwood, of A-One Au Pairs & Nannies and Kate King of B B Training & Consultancy.

The insight into fellow members’ business lives was popular with the audience, who learned how businesses had flourished and grown since their small beginnings.
