What!!! No way...come on guys, if you have a community as good as this, then we have to have "get togethers"
Ok
so first one in Gauteng...who's in? Will make it say somwhere near 4 ways? So the pretoria guys don't have to travel too far?
Couple of beers very informal, after work lets say from 5 onwards? If we get at least 20 responses we will put it together in the next 2 weeks? Ok? You guys in...meet the guys behind the avatar(or infront!)
Vincent organised about 2 years ago. This was at greenstone.
Only stress when you can change the outcome!
Already there is an event happening in Sandton for business owners, unfortunately I heard about it a bit too late and already they can't take on more people.
I am most definitely in, but NOT on the 3rd Dec please. There are a lot of options open in terms of places to meet, however Gauteng may be a good start!
next thing you will want my keys for the swingers club
If I remember correctly, that was in conjunction with something else.
There seems to be a rather worthy line of thought developing here.
So far we've developed as a (pretty much) purely online community. And I'm quite happy with that. But there could be merit in every now and then doing something along the lines of what BNI do - swarm a venue (arranged with the venue, of course), a bit of an intro process, a presentation or two as well as the backslapping getting-to-know-you social.
Gives it a bit of purpose/value-add/whatever without going anywhere near the level of a conference or overly regular ritual. I'd hate it to become a "duty" or burden - just a pleasant, worthwhile experience every now and then.
What do you think?

Hi Dave
Networking or Coffee groups are the Ultimate in doing Business , I am a member of a National Networking group, we attend the Networking Group once a month on a Wednesday,the venue is in Sunninghill, there is a door cover charge, we pay R50.00, If anyone is interested i can give them the contact e-mail, the event is on a voluntary basis, however the benefits are enormous, I make a point of attending every one
Next meeting is on Wednesday 03/12
Please advise
Definitely Dave there is a need for Business Owners to network. Just looking at LinkedIn, the amount of people discussing this exact topic.
There should be a SA Business get together, one that doesn't require a payment of R2500.00 per person. I have realised that most business development seminars are just too expensive for SME's / Entrepreneurs.
Achieving a balance between the "unconference" and the connecting is important in my view.
In the Netherlands they organise Open Coffee's. It's a get together at a bar or cafe at the start of the day. Just a social event with one short 5 min pitch from the companies. The pitch pays for the coffee or drinks. So only one time small investment from each pitch.
