we welcome guests from outside the villages too, but are thinking that to keep focus we’ll limit memberships to those living/ working in Horsley. Would be great to see you Denise, you’d be very welcome to come to any of our meetings – just £15 on the door. Fiona

Hi Fiona
So how “local” do you have to be, to be considered “local” enough to come along??
Well done, and hope to see you very soon!

Cheers for initiating the horsley networking group Fiona (and friends). I like the emphasis on social networking, as well as business networking…makes for longer lasting and more powerful relationships.

Well clearly I am wishing that I lived in Horsley!

You know you are selling to the converted – but I do hope that demonstrating as well as telling will show some more sceptical business owners that effective and well planned marketing is essential for business growth and development.

Well done, Fiona and your colleagues – I would have expected nothing less from you! Good luck and may it continue to be a great success.

thanks Graham. Allowing myself a moment of smugness after a couple of months hard graft but we’re definitely hoping to increase numbers over the next few months. Would be nice to have 35-40 regulars – 60 is phenomenal! Congrats to you. Good luck with promoting the book!

Well done Fiona, for a while I ran an inventors club in my village pub, ran for several years, once we have 60 people, but I could never get anyone to take it over and it was a lot of work finding speakers, so good luck with this and make it a rule, 3 years and out, so people will expect to have to come in at some point!
