The Independent Network Club (Shropshire)
The Independent Network Club (Shropshire) started in May 2002. It is an independent club which makes it accessible to all businesses - large and small. It does not have huge annual fees going to franchise owners. This vibrant, lively business club exists for the benefit of members and meets every fortnight at Hawkstone Park Hotel.
It covers the whole of Shropshire and its borders, and thereby aims to help both rural businesses as well as encouraging urban business opportunities and it provides both a breakfast and an early evening meeting once a month, thus encouraging a wider variety of members across the county. Go to the 'meeting dates' page for 2011 dates.
Guests are very welcome at our meetings - you can attend up to two meetings. The cost for visiting a morning or evening meeting is £10 which includes a bacon or veggie bap for your breakfast and tea and coffee is provided for both meetings. Our current membership fee is very reasonable at only £15 per month which includes the breakfast and meeting refreshments, with an initial joining fee of £50. If you want to visit us please contact the secretary to let us know and you will be assured of a warm welcome.
Why join our network club?
Apart from getting to know other like-minded businesses in the area, you of course have the opportunity to generate new business through networking and referrals. Don't forget that all the other members are acting as your representatives and as they are out and about doing business may come across a business that might need your services. The club members are your extra sales force! Plus the members act as a support network. If you have a problem in your business, you never know, another member may have 'been there - done that' and have the answer. If you only join one network club in Shropshire, make sure that it is INC.
Message from the Chairman
It is a real privilege for me to be elected as Chairman of the INC for the coming year. It is fantastic to be involved with the members of this unique business club which meets fortnightly. Most of them are experts in their field and they reflect the strength and ingenuity of businesspeople in Shropshire. As well as building business relationships they also meet socially at different events during the year. The Club’s strengths include the fact that it democratically governs itself and is not answerable to any outside organisation. Hopefully, in the coming year the membership will continue to grow and all are very welcome to come along to see how it works and if it is for them.
My chosen charity for the year is the Ménière’s Society (no. 297246). This small charity supports people who suffer from this very debilitating condition which affects an estimated 1 in 20,000 people in the UK. It can affect all ages and both sexes. Its symptoms include hearing loss, tinnitus, migraines and headaches, vertigo, nausea and sickness, push and drop attacks and fullness of the ear. Like most ENT conditions it can leave sufferers unable to work or lead a normal social or family life. It also affects the family, friends and employers of sufferers and is an extremely debilitating condition.
