What Happens At a RIBN Meeting?

RIBN Meetings

RIBN meetings are every other Tuesday, starting at 7am at The Draycote Hotel.

During the meeting:

- For the first half hour, we grab a cuppa, meet and mingle. Normally this is the time to meet new members or catch up on the gossip from old friends

- At 7.30am we sit down to a delicious buffet breakfast, where you can choose between a Full English, some continental treats, or go for both and totally max it out! There are also juices and all the tea and coffee you can manage

- When breakfast has been finished, around 7.50am, we gather around the table to say hello, and we remind each other of who we are and what we do. This is the chance for our new members to share a little bit about their business, and for older members to update others on any changes that might have happened

- After that, we then have our 10 minute speaker. Every member gets put on the rota and we take it in turns to have a speaking slot. You have the floor to literally talk about anything you want. And we mean anything! Some people share their story, others share best practice or training tips, and we even have talks that give insight into a favourite hobby. We’ve had talks on how to be a singer, an exploration of electric cars, photography trips to Alaska and how to write a novel, as well as talks on finance, marketing, health and wellbeing and retail

- After the talk, we normally have a Q&A session, and we find that members really do take an interest in what other people are sharing. When that has finished, we then move on to the final part

- To end the session we have ‘good news/bad news’. Every member gets to celebrate those wins with other members of the group, grumble about the issues they’ve been facing, or ask for advice and support if they need it. This is where we really get to know one another and where we find we all help each other

- At around 8.50am, the meeting is closed. There is plenty of scope to sit in the lobby of the hotel should you want to have further discussions with any member, though
