Monthly events usually have a guest speaker
Events
VWBN's monthly networking events are held from 6.30pm on the third Wednesday of each month, usually at Cottrell Park. You can view a full list of upcoming events below.

Cost and sponsorship opportunities
Our networking events usually cost £2 for members and £5 for guests. Guests are very welcome at our events. There are also event sponsorship opportunities available, so if your business would be interested in being featured in all event publicity (press coverage, email notices, this website), exposure to our mailing list, plus a presence on the night, please get in touch.

More about our events
Events start with informal networking and refreshments from 6.30pm, mostly followed by a guest speaker (or two) from 7. There is a break for some facilitated networking mid-way through the evening, to encourage new connections and maintain existing ones! The evening concludes with impromptu introductions or mini 5 minute presentations from members (so please let us know if you'd like to give one) followed by further informal networking over a cup of coffee (or even a glass of wine).

How to book your place
If you would like to attend any event, you can email members@vwbn.org.uk in advance each month.
