Poole Business Women’s Lunch Club

Frances and Tracey met in 1999 through the Recruitment Industry and have continued to work together in recruitment for the last 10 years.

It was in 1999 when Frances and Tracey were attending networking groups in Bournemouth that they felt there was a definite place for a new type of networking group in Poole.

And so the Poole Business Women’s Lunch club was launched. The numbers of business women attending has grown from just 10 at the first meeting to our maximum capacity each lunch of 40.

During this time the club has evolved into a friendly, supportive, group of professional women that enjoy sharing experiences, ideas and issues.

The format for the meetings is generally as follows:

12:00pm - 12:30pm - Welcome drink and stand-up networking opportunity
12:30pm - 12:40pm- Quick round the table introduction from everyone
12:40pm - 1:15pm - Presentation by speaker
1:15pm - Buffet lunch with meat, fish and vegetarian options (served as a sit down lunch)
2:30pm - Close

Cost of Lunch
£16.00 per lunch - For Members
£24.00 per lunch - For Non-Members
