BlogBy Scott GriffithsJuly 27, 20178 Comments

A thank you message from the leaders of the local 3rd Brentwood Scout group, thanking the EBF members for their kind donations and support during a recent charity event.

The Bard of Hadleigh is back and Alan Moller was declared short and sweet

BlogBy Scott GriffithsJuly 25, 20177 Comments

Exactly as a good networking meeting should be. Lots of members, lots of business recorded and lots of new referral opportunities. All this and we even finished on time!

A Meeting of Cocktails and Discipline

BlogBy Scott GriffithsJuly 14, 201713 Comments

This week saw a real attempt to get the meeting finished by 8.30am. The 60 seconds discipline was responsible for this feat, fortunately almost blown by Jo Eastwood’s mesmerising 10 minutes of cocktail mixing.

Jo Eastwood gave us the “Ginny Hendricks experience” and Nikhil Shah mentioned Christmas

Another well attended and entertaining business networking breakfast meeting. Lots of people wearing shorts and flip flops – must be the weather

Alan Shaw stunned us with his shirt and Scott Griffiths produced an electronic chum capable of destroying anyone’s sanity

BlogBy Scott GriffithsJune 30, 201713 Comments

With mentions of Elton John, Eltons Manager and his wife, plus Rod Stewart and a 60 seconds delivered by Google itself. An effective yes absurd meeting with lots of business passed.

Business Networking Meeting review by Alan Shaw

BlogBy Scott GriffithsJune 22, 20178 Comments

A summary of our weekly business networking meeting written from the unique perspective of one of our favourite members, Alan Shaw.

Paul Booth Rabbited a lot and Stuart Smallcombe was revealed as the Fourth Man

BlogBy Scott GriffithsJune 15, 20178 Comments

Beautiful weather, suddenly its warmer and everyone is in much more relaxed mode. There were still several absentees but we managed 23 in number to include 2 visitors. Plus one Rabbit!

EBF Election special – vote for the EBF Party.

BlogBy Scott GriffithsJune 8, 20179 Comments

A somewhat election themed networking meeting today with many members making reference to the UK election in their 60 second presentations.

In which we all learned of the 9 Disciplines and Matt Barry revealed how to treat your employees

BlogBy Scott GriffithsJune 1, 20176 Comments

As expected we had a low attendance because of the half term holiday and the attendant good weather but nonetheless the meeting was lively and up to the usual EBF Meeting standards. Hopefully next week we will all be back and up to our usual numbers.

Its all about the birthdays, ’bout the birthdays (no blog)

BlogBy Scott GriffithsMay 25, 20178 Comments
