CORE NETWORKING
Welcome to details of FORE Business – a UK wide business networking organisation like no other.
Many businesses use networking as a major source of new clients, suppliers and alliances – attending formalised meetings with other business owners and decision makers. Where FORE Business is different is that its members all have a common interest in golf and its monthly events provide more substantial networking potential.
LOCAL NETWORKING IN STANDARD FORE BUSINESS MEMBERSHIP
Each standard member has a home group which holds a monthly event -consisting of pre-golf formal breakfast networking, a round of golf and post-golf informal networking. Given that you can ask to play in the same group as selected other attendees, this is a fantastic opportunity to build relationships while enjoying a pastime you love.
In addition, each standard member gets a 4-ball at their home golf club each month – invite 3 people of your choice (prospects, clients, suppliers, alliances, family, friends) to play with you.
I am one of the Ambassadors for the Marlow & Maidenhead Group in FORE Networking. We meet at Harleyford Golf Club:
- One of the Top 10 Golf Courses in Buckinghamshire
- Open all year without the needs of temporaries or mats
- Set in truly magnificent surroundings on a private estate
- Home to Tyrrell Hatton – one of the best golfers in the world
The draw of the Harleyford course and our group membership regularly leads to our events having 3 to 6 visiting FORE Business members from other group – yet more networking potential.
The green fee cost alone of the 5 weekday rounds of golf (2 for yourself + 3 for others) included in standard FORE Business membership would cost you over £300 as a visitor but the monthly cost of your FORE Business membership is just £69+vat per month.
NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL NETWORKING
All FORE Business members also have free access to:
- A weekly national / international networking zoom meeting with other members
- FORE Business exclusive Facebook groups
- Spaces on other members’ 4-balls promoted on an exclusive FORE Business mobile app
ENHANCED MEMBERSHIP
When their home group’s monthly event convinces members of its worth, many step up to Flexi Membership. This offers all of the benefits of standard membership plus the ability each month to attend any other UK group’s event.
As a member of the Marlow & Maidenhead group, I have flexi membership and rotate my visiting between the group at Reading, Thame, Ascot and Leatherhead. The additional cost of this second face to face networking event and round of golf is just £15+vat per month – it’s an absolute no-brainer.
TAKE A MONTH COMPLETELY FREE
There is a joining cost of £159+vat but you don’t have to pay that or the monthly fee until you’ve enjoyed a full month of all standard membership benefits for free. If you are the exception who decides (at the end of your free month) that membership isn’t for you, you can cancel your membership and never pay 1p. Once you are a paying member, termination of membership takes 3 months.
This free month offer is called the Golden Ticket and it can only be provided to you by an existing member of FORE Business. Please contact me to gain yours (tony.thornby@living-streams.co.uk, 01494 440019) or ask any questions that you may have.
