Tadley Business Networking

09/10/2026

What a morning!

55 of us at Bishopswood Golf Course today for October's Tadley Business Networking. The room was busy from the very start, with such a warm welcome from Samantha Davidson and her team, with teas, coffees and delicious cakes.

Thank you to everyone who came. The conversations at the tables are always the best part.
We raised £130 on the raffle, split between
Citizens Advice Tadley and St Michael's Hospice (North Hampshire). Thank you to everyone who donated a prize and everyone who bought a raffle ticket.
Some lovely flowers were presented to Maxine Hart. We are sad to see her leave St Michael's Hospice and move back to her home town of Blackpool at the end of October. She will be missed enormously.
Thanks to our organisers:
Martin Bowers, Bowers Broker Services Limited
Barbara Payne. Digital House
Dawn Gregory, Dawn Gregory: Confident Speaking Coach
Stephanie Ward, The Facial Sanctuary

A particular thank you to Tricia Turner, Tricia Save and Earn who looked after our visitors and made sure nobody stood on their own.
Bring a Friend keeps growing. Three sets this month:
Tara Anstee of Zest Expert HR Solutions brought Andrei Dominte of Prime Finish Pros and Mairead O'Dwyer of MCH Customs
Katja Kaltenbach of KaKatja Travel brought Natasha Brown of Starry Nights
Louise Webster brought Lisa Baker, both of Applewood, part of Milkwood Care
Bring someone along next time and we will feature you both afterwards. It costs you nothing and it puts your business in front of the whole group.

Lovely to see everyone who came along:
Next one: Thursday 12 November, 9:30 to 11:30am, Bishopswood Golf Club. Free to attend, free parking, refreshments included and 10% off in the bar.

Wow, what a morning we had at Tadley Business Networking on Thursday 10th September! After the August break it was lovely to see the room at Bishopswood Golf Club full again, with plenty of familiar faces and a warm welcome to everyone who joined us for the first time.
It was a pleasure organising the event alongside Martin Bowers, Dawn Gregory: Confident Speaking Coach and Stephanie Ward.
A huge thank you to all 55 of you who came along and made the morning such a success.
Let's start with our Bring a Friend initiative, which is a brilliant way to introduce more people to our events and grow the network. This month six of you each brought along a guest. A big thank you to you all.
Our supported charities this month were Hospital Radio Basingstoke and Citizens Advice Tadley. The raffle raised £140, shared between the two charities (links in the comments). Thank you to everyone who donated prizes and bought tickets.

Thank you to Samantha Davidson and the team at Bishopswood Golf Course for hosting us once again and looking after us so well all morning. Your support for these events means a great deal.
