Mar 17th postponed til Mar 24th, Glenroyal, Maynooth

Our March 17th meeting will be postponed until March 24th. Same venue, Saints Bar, Glenroyal, Maynooth, Kildare. Same time, 10:30am - 12:00pm.

As usual, all are welcome. You do not have to be from the area to attend.

The 60 seconds speech from each attendee with well at our last meeting, so we will be carrying that on this time as well. Each attendee will get 60 seconds of undivided attention, come prepared.

Next meeting Osprey, Kildare

Next meeting will be held on Thurs 3rd, 2011 at the Statler Bar, Osprey Hotel, Naas, Kildare.

It starts at 10:30am for about two hours. Decided to put a little structure into this one to see how it goes. everyone will have 60 seconds to talk about their business. It's won't be mandatory but I would recommend it.

As always, everyone is welcome you don't have to be from the area to come along.

A little advice on how to prepare your 60 seconds:

• The name of your company
• What you do
• What are the benefits of your products/services
• Who is your target market

See you there.

Christmas meetings

There will be no opencoffee on the following dates due to the holidays.

• December 16th, 2010
• Jan 6th, 2011

We will still be having the meeting in Naas on December 2nd. See you all there.

Remember, these network meetings are open to everyone, you do not have to be from the area to attend.

Consistency is key

As we are restructuring the Opencoffee mornings that next meeting will also be held at the Osprey, Naas.

We have decided to be consistent and hold the Naas OpenCoffee on the first Thursday of the month and the Maynooth Opencoffee will be held on the Third Thursday of the month. Time will always remain the same: 10:30AM - whenever.

Next Opencoffee Thurs 21st at the Osprey, Naas

I have arranged with the Osprey to have our Coffee morning next Thursday 21st Oct, 2010 at 10:30AM. Looking forward to seeing you all.

We are an informal group that get together to have a coffee and talk about business, the weather, sports or whatever you want to chat about. Meet people, build trust, and do business.

Under new management

We've had a change in management. Anthea has relinquished the throne and has passed it onto me, Vince Doherty. I realise that I have big shoes to fill, but I will do my best.

I would like to have consistent days for our get togethers. I was thinking the first Thursday of each month for the Naas meeting and the last Thursday of each month for the Maynooth meeting. What does everyone think? feel free to comment.

I think the times and the structure should remain the same.

Summer time

We hope you're all having a great Summer and have managed to take a break & refresh.

Some exciting news - we are delighted to promote the Sallins coffee morning which has been running successfully for nearly a year now. Finella of Baby Moments and Barter-It is the organiser.

We have posted the dates for September and over the next week we'll finalise the dates for the autumn.

Hoping to see you at Open Coffee in Kildare.
