1st Friday Networking event update for Malton, book your place

It’s that time of the month for the reminder for the next Malton Networking meeting. Last month we all had a 60 second slot each and it seemed to prompt people into talking to other members about the products and services they offer. So as it was a success last time I thought we would go for it again, so prepare a 60 second slot about your business and what your best customer would be.

The next networking event will be held again at The Old Lodge, Old Maltongate, Malton, YO17 7EG on Friday 3rd September 2010 between 12 noon – 2pm. As before it will be a chance for everyone to get to know each other and generally network. Remember your business cards!! Also this month we are going to be upstairs in the board room.

The only cost for this meeting will be £10 per person and I will collect the money on arrival, this is a contribution for the rent of the room and the food. Please let me know if you are coming and bringing other people, so that I can arrange numbers for the tea, coffee and food.

If you have any questions please feel free to call me on 01653 692292 or if you would like to come simply reply to this email before Thursday 2nd September 2010, so that I can arrange numbers with The Old Lodge. If you know of anyone else who might be interested please feel free to ask them, but do let me know for numbers.
I look forward to seeing you at the networking meeting.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T BEEN FOR A WHILE, COME AGAIN AS THE CHIPS ARE STILL AS GOOD AS LAST TIME!

Kind Regards

Pocktoberfest Beer Festival in October Sponsorship Opportunities

Just got a note from Sally steadman, sounds interesting ..... get the full story

Every year I and a few volunteers from Round Table organise Pocktoberfest in Pocklington. This is a professionally run event and is always held on the first weekend of October and is a ‘nod’ to the Oktoberfest held at the same time in Munich, Germany. Pocktoberfest is a CHARITY beer festival event that raises money for local charities and worthy causes. It has become over the last few years one of Pocklington’s premier events and is extremely well supported by local people and local businesses. In recent years charities and causes we have supported include:Friends of Pocklington Arts Centre - donated £3,000 towards the refurbishment of the chairs in the auditorium and a further amount of £1,000.

The Wolds Wonders - donated £1000 for general funds to this charity that provides musical theatre for people with learning difficulties in the Pocklington area.

Riders for the Disabled - donated twice the amounts of £500 for the summer riding school.

The Pocklington Canal Society - donated £1,000 towards the upkeep of canal and running of the trip boat, 'New Horizons'.

Yorkshire Air Ambulance - donated numerous amounts towards this worthy and high profile organisation.

Barmby Moor Kids Club - donated £100 towards board games and DVD's.

Hearing Dogs for the Deaf - donated £500 towards new equipment.

Pocklington Rugby Club Mini’s - donated £500 towards new equipment.

Each year we ask local businesses (and some local people) to sponsor the event. Our aim is through sponsorship to cover the ‘set up’ costs of the event so that the day we open for business we are already at break even. This means that all the money spent at the event can be given out to charity. Last year we raised over £4000 of sponsorship ensuring the event was a huge success and our best year ever.
Indeed last year we raised over £4000 at the event ALL of which was given to local charities and worthy causes. We want this year’s event to capitalise on that success and raise more again. Our target this year is to raise £5000 to donate within the local community. get the full story
