Venue: The Nelson Pub, 60 Grove Road, Wallasey, Wirral. CH45 3HE
Speaker: Paul Smith (The Jets coach) - Paul’s ‘Winning Edge’ presentation is particularly appropriate for conferences, seminars and team events with themes such as; success, teamwork, change, new challenges, competition, celebration, motivation, business improvement or planning. Unlike many speakers, Paul would be very keen to work with you to tailor the ‘Winning Edge’ messages to enhance and reinforce the key business messages of your event.
Monday night’s event took place at Neston Community and Youth Centre and we’re pleased to say went extremely well, with sixteen people turning up, so we would all like to thank all of you who attended! We also saw many new faces amongst the crowd as well and hope you found the event useful, especially to some whose first day of being self employed was Monday- we wish you luck for the future!
We managed to raise an excellent £80 for The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, so thank you all again for contributing, which we’re sure will be greatly appreciated.
Right, down to the event itself. The food, as always, went down a treat and was the perfect way to let everybody mingle when they arrived. Our speaker, Geoffrey Prince, gave a delightful and inspiring talk on “Success is a matter of choice,” which gave people some very useful points about the importance of creating a business plan for your year ahead. From talking to people afterwards it seemed Geoffrey’s message had definitely sunk in!
The speed networking itself was a huge success as straight away it threw people into the deep end, but at the same time relaxed everyone so by the first ten seconds people were laughing and joking and networking successfully without getting too embarrassed. We had some great feedback about using speed networking so look out for it at one of our future events as I’m sure we will be using it again!
MyWirralHub have some new events happening on the Wirral that you may just be interested in!
We had our first luncheon networking meeting in Irby at Cromwell’s and it was only a small turn out but it was a great event. Our next luncheon event is happening in October in Mr.Chows in Parkgate. We have been given a special lunch time meal deal for £10 per person and we will have some great speakers.
Our next evening event is on 28th September in The Dee Hotel in West Kirby. Please check the events page for more information and links to book your place.
We have over 20 local businesses attend our 3rd event of 2009. We filmed the event again and took pictures so you will be seeing them shortly.
I would like to thank Jenny from Clare House, Carrie from AboutMyArea and Lesley from LR Consultancy. The speakers were all fantastic and the people who attended where amazing.
If you were there and would like to tell us what you think and if we could have done anything better for you, please comment on this blog post. We look forward to hearing from you.
We all raised over £100 for Clare House, but the final number will come in this week, so we shall keep you updated over that.
Our next event is on 22nd July in Irby at 12-2pm, please let us know if you would like to attend.
Well… I would just like to say thank you for everyone who turned up to our first Wirral event of 2009. We had 24 people in total at Bobby’s Bar in New Brighton. Bobby’s Bar did us proud and put on a cracking buffet which was sponsored by MyWirralHub.
The speed networking went down a treat and there were some networking virgins who were dropped in the deep end but seemed to enjoy it at the same time.
If you came a long please add your comments to the blog or even send us some comment via email. If we could have done something better for you or differently, we would also like to know that too.
