729 Club
The 729 Club meets from 7:00am to 9:00am (729) on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at the Crown and Cushion Hotel.  This is a friendly and informal networking group hosted by consummate net-workers Ken Norman and Tim Lyon of Chippy based New Tricks Training Ltd.  The philosophy of the 729 Club is that networking should be:

Serious but Fun
Structured yet Informal
Focused on Relationships (not lead generation)
Welcoming and Supportive

The charge for breakfast is £10 on the door and there is a choice of a Light or English Breakfast.  For further information and to book a place please visit the 729 website or email the 729 Club.
