I would just like to thank all those who attended last night's meeting at the Nags Head - it was great to see so many of you there, and thankyou for your support during my first stab at chairing the meeting.

I have provisionally booked the venue for 6 weeks' time - October 18th, 7-9pm. Hope to see you all again then (apart from Tim who will be in a far more exotic location!).

Given that a lot of people were interested in marketing as a potential topic, I thought perhaps we could dedicate the next meeting to that - I would look for a suitable speaker, and really liked Alison's suggestion about those of us who have had some success in finding clients perhaps giving a five or ten minute talk on how they went about it, what worked and what didn't.

Let me know what you all think!

Hi Kate,

Congratulations on your first meeting. A good turn out and a really enjoyable informative evening. Even the tea was entertaining!!! Tony Miles was excellent as a guest speaker. His ideas on networking are worth further consideration in relation to the topic of marketing.  

The ICB regional seminars that have disappeared this year, I checked last years cpd certificate and it was 7 CPD points awarded for attendance.  

I hope the group continues to be well supported. 

Kind Regards
Tim

Hi Kate,

I've only just found this post, so sorry for the delayed response. I've booked to come again next week and would be happy to do 5 mins if you like. I'm no marketing expert, but am happy to share my experiences. Just le t me know what you think.

That would be great - thanks Alison. Do you have a particular type of marketing that you'd like to cover? I'd like to get a range of topics if possible, so we don't cover anything twice. You and I are the only volunteers so far though - would anyone else like to have a go? Just five or ten minutes about a marketing tactic that's worked for you, or even something that didn't work but you learned useful things in the process!

I'm easy really, although I guess it's best just to mention 1 or 2 things I've tried that have worked well for me. If there's anything specific you'd like me to mention (or avoid talking too much about), then please just let me know. Smile

Hello Kate
I am new on ICB and just pass Level 3 in Payroll Management. Would it be OK if I will join in your meeting? I live in Nottingham. 
Many thanks

Hi Alison - I was going to talk about networking, was that something that you were considering? I'll come up with something else if so.

Rimmelly952 - you would be very welcome to join us. Hope you can make it, and look forward to meeting you if so.

Kate,

I have certainly found networking to be successful, but am happy for you to talk about it. I'll major on other aspects. Nothing specific in mind, just what's worked for me. Hopefully it'll help open a discussion up.

See you Thursday.

Hi Kate,

I am so sorry I cannot attend tonights meeting, I have a very unwell mother in law (I'll hold back the obvious jokes!! LOL), I would have liked to comment on marketting, I ran a small advertising magazine for 2 years. I would love to attend the meeting on the 29th if that is confirmed. Let me know how it goes tonight.

Kind regards

Peter
