Visitors Day

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

On Friday 9th November, we are holding a visitors day at The Vale Golf Club.

Having dried out and regrouped following the flooded demise of the Northwick Hotel (our previous venue) we are back and building. We have relocated to be able to work between Evesham and Pershore more effectively and we are now ready to get back to business.

The Visitor Day is an opportunity to meet other businesses in the area and see how BNI in Evesham has conducted over £1.3Million worth of business between members and guests in the past few years.
