Kindly Sponsored by RWR Printing Ltd Leeds


Dear Colleagues Join us for an evening of Inspiration and Opportunity

The organisers of this event, EventBusters Ltd, has had a long association with World Class Sport. We are running the first of our 'not for profit' sporting dinners for business owners in the region at The Triton Inn, Brantingham on the 17th September 2009. The proceeds from the first dinner will go to Brough Cricket Club.
The aim of each evening will be to deliver to guests valuable information to help their businesses in the form of a dinner with guest speakers. Each event will provide an excellent networking opportunity and have the added bonus of giving support to an amateur sports club in the region.

To start this series off we are focusing on the opportunities still available for businesses leading up to The London Olympics in 2012
The ability to stay focused, seize opportunities and apply strategies are skills which are well developed in top athletes. These skills are also key to business success, Our speakers will give you an insight into not only what opportunities are out there, but how to recognize and identify opportunity and apply a strategy for success.
As the 2012 Olympics approach fast there are still many opportunities for businesses to tender for work. This is not confined to large businesses around London but open to all sizes of businesses throughout the country. The Olympic Training Camp at Bishop Burton is an example of this and will bring prestige and more visitors to our region.

Master of Ceremonies for the evening is Nick Danby, Face 2 Face CPD Development through Experience
Our two guest speakers will enlighten you and answer your questions on what 2012 could mean to your business.

Jeanette Dawson Principal of Bishop Burton College
In 2005 a Property Strategy was developed for major capital development of the college campus. The news on 6 July 2005 that the 2012 Olympic Games would be held in London was inspirational for the college. It was a defining moment which led us to think about the skills and facilities required and to plan accordingly. The college already had a Property Strategy and Campus Development Plan which included a new Indoor Equine Arena. The plan for a new indoor riding school was then changed to a plan for an Olympic size Equestrian Arena. This wonderful facility was opened by the Princess Royal in October 2008 and we now have another world class venue in Yorkshire. The venue has been accepted as a training camp for the 2012 Olympics and in July 2010 we are hosting the Pony European Championships.This is just one building in a capital programme which has taken the Bishop Burton College into the 21st century – and there is more to follow.

Another Business Networking Event in Pocklington Launches

Business for Breakfast is coming to Allerthorpe Park Golf Club
Don’t participate in the recession!
If you’re serious about growing your business, you should know that:
70% of all new business is obtained through networking
A referral produces 80% more business than a cold call
So if you were to join a networking group that specialises in business referrals, how much do you think you could increase your business by?

Business for Breakfast (B4B) is a nationwide organisation of networking groups where like-minded business people meet every two weeks to gain new business...and to help others do the same.

As a B4B member, every person in your group gets to know you, your business and the kind of business
referrals you are looking for. When you consider that most business people have at least 250 contacts each, you can perhaps begin to understand the huge potential in being part of a group that works for the benefit of each other. It’s like having your own sales force, only much more cost effective! We are currently looking for forward thinking business people to join our Allerthorpe Park group.

As we only allow one member per profession to join each group, this is a fantastic opportunity to tap into an exclusive source of referrals and lock out your competition.
Why not come along as a guest to our launch meeting on September 24th. Registration and breakfast from 0645 with the meeting held between 0700 and 0830.

For a small fee of just £10 (which includes a delicious breakfast!) you will have the chance to network with a group of friendly business professionals in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. And I guarantee you will see new business opportunities being generated, there and then.
Phone me now on 0845 365 3796 to reserve your place or email hazel@bforb.co.uk . And don’t forget to bring plenty of business cards when you come – you’ll need them!

First Friday in Malton - Golf Day

Chris Davies our very good friend who organises the Firts Friday Networking event would like to invite you to their golf day, details below:-
Morning all Golfers

If you are not interested in the Golf day please ignore this email, however if you have had a change of heart please let me know which of the following dates you can do.

Right then I have applied an extremely scientific approach to this and come up with the following options.

July – forget about it too many holidays for all you lucky people.

August – again forget about it too many holidays going on.

So that leaves a small window in September before people take more holidays. We have available Thursday 3rd September, Friday 4th September (which is the date of the normal meeting so we might be able to pull that one together) or Monday 7th September.

Please let me know by Friday 31st July which days you would be interested in and I can then finalise the day and get it booked with Ian’s help.

Kind Regards,
Chris Davies
