July and August -

With the kids breaking up for their summer holidays in a couple of weeks we expect that many will be taking a well earned break.  We are planning to continue with the regular fortnightly meetings in Witham albeit on a low key basis.

No speeches or 60 second pitches - just a cold beer and meet up with other like minded business owners at the end of a busy week - a chance to unwind and catch up on what is happening within the area - swap ideas and contacts.

We have a permanent business card holder on display thanks to Deirdre from Nightingale Joinery so please do not forget to bring plenty of cards.

Plenty of free parking - access via Maldon Road  CM8 1AA

Nick’s Back! But This Time, With a Difference!!


Nick Athorne will be hosting a Charity Network Dinner, in aid of Success After Stroke and ICANHO Liveability on Wednesday, 7th September 2011, starting at 6.30pm, at The Stoke by Nayland Hotel and Golf Spa.


 “When someone says to me that my NWD events are the best networking events they have ever attended, I guess I must be making a difference.  But when lots of people start telling me that, I know I am making a difference!
Following my stroke in 2009, the wind was certainly knocked out of my sails! But, you know what, once you start improving you can’t stop wanting more! It’s a real challenge. That is why I’m back, supporting the stroke charities that have helped me enormously!”

This Network Dinner promises to be not just fun, exciting and informative but also very definitely, thought provoking! 

So here’s the deal!  Hopefully you should leave the event with a little less cash in your pocket!  Some people certainly won’t be leaving empty handed, as there are fabulous prizes in our Auction of Promises, together with some very impressive Draw prizes. In fact no one will be leaving without something!  Because, in terms of knowledge and contacts, you will certainly be leaving with more than with which you arrived.

Nick will of course bring to the event his well-known mix of business knowledge and flair for entertaining repartee.  For anyone who has attended one of Nick’s NWD events in the past, you know the score!  For those who have not, then perhaps now is the time for you to put your toe in the water and find out just how this type of networking event can be valuable to you and your business.

To make this happen, book now! Especially if you wish to avoid disappointment.  

This you can do by going to www.networkingdinner.co.uk, completing and returning the booking form with your cheque, and confirming with Claire Layton at nwdinners@yahoo.co.uk
