WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
The Sussex Business Club has evolved from my Business Brunch Club. I’ll fill you in on the history of that story below but essentially, we are a friendly, informal networking group based in East Sussex.
We meet monthly on the 1st Friday of the month at 9:30am in various local venues. The idea is to meet up over brunch or whilst “netwalking” to chat all things business, network and just socialise. You can book your FREE place via Eventbrite.
WHAT DO WE GET UP TO?
We alternate between enjoying brunch at various local establishments or a gentle walk in the area, such as Buxted Park or Ashdown Forest. We thought about sticking to one spot but I always wanted to support lots of our fabulous independent cafes.
To join in or if you’re interested in finding out more, you can sign up for updates below and please feel free to join the Facebook group.
It’s completely free, you just pay for anything you order at our venue of the month.
Brunch Club started as a way for me to connect with other women in business who might struggle to make it to networking events which often seemed to be at times which were tricky for mums in particular – school runs, teatime, etc. Plus I love brunch!
As a small business owner, it can get a bit lonely working without colleagues. So I thought I’d start a local group for any business people who’d like to connect.
I started the Uckfield Business Brunch Club, meeting at 9:15am, after the school run in the morning and I loved it, we soon opened it up to everyone, not just women and mums in business.
Once I began my health kick in 2023 (ultimately losing 5 stone), I decided to mix it up alternating the months between brunches and walks. I’ve since also joined in with Henry’s amazing Ashdown Park Hotel netwalking group which I recommend!
We’ve been on a bit of a hiatus as I wasn’t very good at reminding people about our events and actually promoting it so it fizzled out but I miss it so we’re back with a renewed vigour, a new name and the amazing Georgia from Soulshine Digital on board to help me get the word out!
Our first Sussex Business Club meeting will be on 7th November so please join the Facebook group for details or sign up using the form above and I’ll ping you the Eventbrite link with all the info nearer the time. I hope to see you soon!
