Frequently Asked Questions

Membership

Is membership for a company or an individual?

Membership is for the company, not an individual, meaning it is fully transferable and anyone can attend the events.

Can I attend an event before joining?

Yes, a maximum of 2 events are allowed across 2 venues before becoming a member.

We welcome businesses to try events before making commitment to joining. This allows you to understand the types of businesses we attract, meet our team and understand how we work, to make an informed and educated decision regarding membership.

To do so, simply find one of our upcoming events and book a place directly via the relevant event page.

Do you have a 'lock out' policy of one business per industry?

No. We welcome all businesses, of all sizes, allowing them the freedom to develop natural working relationships at events, whilst enjoying the benefits of membership on top of the events. 

Do I need to arrange a substitute or will I be penalised if I cannot attend an event?

You absolutely won’t be penalised. However, we encourage you to send a representative from the company to attend (remember the membership is companywide) or even a client or connection so the place doesn’t go to waste! Attending regularly is one of our key tips when it comes to maximising a return on membership.

Aside from events, what are the benefits of joining?

There are a host of benefits the Network My Club team can provide as part of the membership support, as well as venue specific benefits to aid business activity. This can range from use of corporate boxes to host an off-site meeting, to match tickets to incentive staff/clients, to discounts on conference and events space to use for external company events, conferences or meetings.

How do I maximise membership?

As part of the onboarding process as member, our team will arrange a 1-1 call with you to understand or define your business objectives, learn about your company, and get a picture of the types of businesses you are looking to meet.

Throughout membership, our team will also be on hand to work with you on various campaigns to members, whether that’s from a marketing perspective or at events, as well as understanding how it is working for you and if there is any more you can get out of it. 

Events

Can I attend as a non-member before joining?

Yes, a maximum of 2 events are allowed across 2 venues before becoming a member.

We welcome businesses to try events before making commitment to joining. This allows you to understand the types of businesses we attract, meet our team and understand how we work, to make an informed and educated decision regarding membership.

To do so, simply find one of our upcoming events and book a place directly via the relevant event page.

What is the format of an event?

Our events are informal, yet structured and purposeful, over the course of two and half hours. The opening 45/60 minutes is open and informal networking, where the Network My Club team welcome attendees and are on hand to make introductions (from the delegate list you receive 24 hours in advance). 

Following a short welcome and introduction, food is served where you can find a seat anywhere in the room to enjoy. After food is an introduction to venue personnel, new members, as well as any member notices or announcements. Following a 10-minute comfort break to replenish teas/coffees is the guest speaker, after which the event is wrapped up and the remaining 30/45 minutes are for open networking to catch the people you hadn’t got to yet.  

What time of day are your events?

Our events are typicall over the course of a lunchtime, from 12-2.30pm.

But we do have occasions where different experiences will dictate the timings, e.g. race days, match days, or others. 

How frequent are your events in each location?

We aim to deliver events every other month in each location and, in some cases, each quarter.

We plan our events well in advance and you can view our upcoming schedule here.

Why do you use sporting venues?

As well as being accessible, versatile and inspiring, sporting venues are unique and very well known, meaning they are regularly used as an icebreaker for attendees.

It also makes a more attractive event to attend for businesses as they try avoiding the networking events that typically take place in bars, hotels, restaurants or meeting/function rooms.

What kind of businesses and people attend?

Our events attract majority Director level and decision maker lever delegates, from businesses across a vast range of B2B sectors. The size of businesses are typically mid-large sized SME’s, but we have everything from a one man band to blue chip corporates. 

Do I have to work in sports or be a sports fan to attend or join?

No. Our groups are open to businesses from all sectors and sizes, for those looking to expand their network with businesses in various industries.
