Another packed networking event!  Thank you very much to everyone who attended the Friends of City lunch last week – we had over 100 people join us to build new relationships and catch up with old friends over a free buffet lunch and a coffee.  It was great to see so many new faces and to receive such positive feedback from the guests – thank you all for your comments.

The next meeting is a breakfast on Friday 20 September which promises to be a busy one as everyone returns from their summer holidays.

After that we have the Business Expo on Thursday 31 October.  We already have 50 guests and 10 stands booked for the Expo, so if you are a member make sure you book your stand space soon!

What do you need to know?

We get together once a month at Chelmsford City FC (Melbourne Park, Salerno Way, Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 2EH), alternating between breakfast and lunchtime meetings.  The next event is a breakfast on Friday 20 September from 7:00am – 9:00am.  The meetings are free to attend – if you like us and you’d like to join up and support the club there is a great membership package which includes advertising space and a copy of the attendance list, but that’s up to you.  There’s plenty of free parking and food, tea and coffee is provided free of charge.  How’s that for great value?

The meetings are very informal – there are no bells or whistles and you don’t need to give a 60 second speech.  The meetings are very popular, so we can guarantee you will meet a real mix of businesses – large and small.  This is a great opportunity to make new contacts and catch up with old friends in a relaxed environment.

If you’d like to come along

To keep things fair, we only allow up to 5 businesses from any trade or profession to attend, so please book early to avoid disappointment.  Aaron will add contact details of everyone who books in to the attendance list which is available to you if you become a member.

The dates for the next few meetings are as follows:

We look forward to seeing you there!
