			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the best things about belonging to a BNI Festival chapter is that you get regular weekly networking with other businesses in Chichester who are all looking to grow their business like you. It is through the regular weekly contact that we get to find out how each other is doing, the highs and lows of their week and get an introduction to any new businesses that they invite along. I am now into my second year of belonging to this chapter and I am extremely excited about the grow spurt it is currently going through. We anticipate that our membership will reach 25 within a few months, if not more!</p>
<p>The amount of cross-referrals that we all benefit from as we increase in numbers will grow exponentially and I consider that the BNI model for effective business networking in Chichester is simply unbeatable. If you haven&#8217;t considered coming to a meeting before, why not give it a go? A fiver for the breakfast and an excellent chance to meet the members of the fastest growing chapter in the area!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My first meeting as Chapter Director and even though there were only 9 of us this morning we still managed to pass 19 referrals, some achievement but thanks mostly to Garry Wilberforce who passed 11! </p>
<p> Garry, our new membership coordinator, confirmed we passed 77 referrals worth £11,607 in September so on average each referral was worth £150 approx. with 17 visitors to the Chapter during the month. </p>
<p> Tim Mulkern, our new secretary/treasurer has designed business cards and banners to adorn the Festival BNI stand booked for us by Tony Hedger, our new Events Coordinator, at the B2B Skills &amp; Careers Exhibition which is being held at the Fontwell Park Racecourse this Thursday and Friday. You will find us in the Finance suit section of the main grandstand. </p>
<p> Clive Loseby, our new Education Coordinator, educated us on the usage of the Festival BNI website and how we can tie in with the Festival BNI Group on LinkedIn and twitter. </p>
<p> We agreed the date for our next visitors day is 2nd November! </p>
<p> If you would like to attend please do not hesitate to contact us at the Festival BNI Chapter.</p>
