The purpose of the Directors' Lunch is for paid up Members to access business people who would not normally attend network meetings. It is often commented that there is a level of business person who does not attend mainstream events and this is an ideal opportunity to access their knowledge and expertise.
Restricted to 12 people maximum the meetings are held in a private dining room with a top class lunch. Content is confined to the meeting ensuring confidentiality and an element of exclusivity. In this way guests are able to ask questions about business that they would not normally field in an open meeting.
March 26th 2010 and our Guest for Lunch was Tim Kidson , co-author of 'How to be a WINNER in the Global Knowledge Economy’Tim led the table on a discussion around Relationships entitled 'Marriage Guidance for Business Lovers' !

The Lunch was held at Fishmore Hall, just outside of Ludlow in their private dining area and a superb meal was served with excellent service to compliment the presentation from Tim.
Past Guests have included Peter Pawsey of the Rural Regeneration Zone, Advantage West Midlands and also Business Link West Mercia and Jean Pousson of Jean Posson Ltd and representing the Institute of Directors.
Pauline Finlay, Deputy Agent for the Bank of England was the guest at the May lunch.
Future guests are predicted by Member request and The Rural Meeting Place will endeavour to secure their attendance. Is there somebody you would like to meet?
