Barnhall RFC : Helping us to help ourselves beat the recession.

Barnhall Business Breakfast.

How many times did we meet player's friends and visitors to Barnhall RFC and say I never realised that's what you worked at or is that what you do. Within our extended club we have a wide range of business people, tradesmen, professionals, entrepreneurs and crafts people that have services and product's to offer. We just don't know each other nor do we know what we have to offer each other.
To help create a business network within Barnhall we have decided to arrange a series of three business breakfasts in September, November and January. The idea is to introduce innovative ways to help grow your business and to provide a networking opportunity to tell as many people as possible about you're your products or your services. The initial three series trail will comprise of a short presentation's from the host sponsor, a presentation on some level of innovation to help your business to trade more effectively and a speed networking activity to allow you to introduce yourself to a minimum of ten other people / organisations at each session.

The first Barnhall business Breakfast will be held in the Club house in Parsonstown on September the 11 th at 8am. Breakfast will be provided and the schedule for the morning will be as follows.

7.30 – 08.00 registration and informal networking.
8.00 – 08.35 Breakfast and presentations from sponsors and the Guest business presenter.
8.35 – 9.15 Speed networking. (time to introduce yourselves to potential clients.

The plan is to close the formally session at 9.15 to allow people to return to work etc. The club house will remain open to 10.00 to allow for informal networking or to close off more detailed conversations if this is required by the session participants.

The only rules for speed networking are you have two minutes to introduce yourself and your service or product to people. So know what you want to say to people by way of introduction. Bring lots of business cards. And be on time.

Cost for the breakfast is €20.00

Please contract Noel Dillon, Padraic Beatty or Connor Anderson If you need any further information.
