Before you visit

Visiting us, explained

How many times can I visit?
You can visit as our guest twice before deciding whether to join. It is the best way to get a real feel for the group.
Is visiting free?
Yes. Your first two visits are free. You may just pay for your own breakfast or refreshments if the venue charges for them.
What should I bring?
Just yourself and a few business cards if you have them. Come as you are, we are a friendly bunch and there is nothing formal to prepare.
Do I have to join after visiting?
Not at all. There is no obligation and no hard sell. Join only if it feels like the right fit for you and your business.
Can I visit online instead?
Yes. If an in-person meeting does not suit, you are very welcome to join one of our regular online meetings from anywhere.
