What to Expect
at a Meetup
Where and When
The Far West Business Network meets monthly on the second Tuesday of the month at:
The Phoenix Café
Boswedden Road
St Just
Penzance
Cornwall TR19 7JP.
We meet at 10am and wrap up at 12pm.
Does it Cost Anything?
It is free to attend the meetups but we do ask you to buy a drink and/or slice of cake from the Phoenix as a way to support the local business.
Format
We follow the following format:
10am Arrive and purchase your choice of refreshments.
10.15am Welcome and round-the-table introductions. Each attendee has 2 minutes to introduce themselves and their business.
11am Discussion on a business-related topic. Please stay on-topic (see below).
11.30am Open discussion.
12pm That’s all folks.
Staying On-Topic
While we encourage and enjoy open discussion, in the interest of fairness to all participants we try to stay on-topic to be able maintain focus on the subject. And we politely ask that you don’t hog the conversation, please allow everyone a chance to participate.
This will mean we get the best from each session and avoids the conversation becoming a blur of subjects. There is an opportunity for ‘open discussion’ at the end of each session when group members can chat, exchange cards and ask specific questions of each other that may not be of benefit/interest to the larger group.
