Frequently asked questions

As a visitor: £10 a visit, paid by card when you book, breakfast included.
As a member: £50 a month, all in. Nothing else to pay; breakfast is included at every face-to-face meeting.
Online meetings are free for everyone, visitors and members.

No. Unlike a lot of networking groups there's no minimum contract. You can leave after one month or one thousand months. You pay only for as long as you want to come along, because we want people who want to be there, not people who paid up front and feel they have to.

Twice. After that you can decide whether to join or not, and nobody will chase you either way.

Members and visitors say what they do and what business they're looking for, for up to sixty seconds. After that you can listen, eat and chat. Everyone round the table has done it, and they all came back the week after.

Yes please. Bring anything you want to pass round the table.

No. Unlike some groups, nobody pressures you to bring referrals or visitors. They're welcome, of course, but you won't be penalised for turning up without one.

Hit any Book a visit button, pick a Wednesday, add your details and pay the £10 by card. Zoom weeks are free: pick one and we'll email you the link the day before.

In the room at eSpace North on Wisbech Road in Littleport, just outside Ely, one week; on Zoom the next. Zoom bookers get the link the day before.

Loads, free, right outside. An easy run from Ely, Soham, the A10 and the A142.

Every Wednesday, 8.00am to 9.30am. We take a two-week break over Christmas.

8.00am: arrive, grab a drink, mingle.
8.15am: introductions, good news and the sixty-second round.
8.45am: breakfast, home-made by Sally from La Cucina Italiana, with teas and coffees.
9.00am: a member's ten-minute spotlight and questions.
9.15am: the contriBREWtion, a tip or lesson from the week.
9.30am: off to work, or more mingling if you fancy it.

Log in (ideally with a brew), introductions and the sixty-second round, then ten-minute one-to-ones in breakout rooms, then the contriBREWtion. The same shape as the room, just on Zoom. We've had people call in from their cars, a Wetherspoons and even Torrevieja in Spain.

Book a Zoom date (it's free) and we'll email you the link the day before.

Have a look at the members directory: that's the full list of current members and their trades. If yours is taken, email us; we keep a waitlist and we'll let you know the moment a seat opens up.

New members get:

• A Business Brew mug, for the all-important brew
• A notepad, to jot down what members are looking for
• A pen, to make the aforementioned notes
• Tea bags
• Tasty sweets

Yes. Members manage their profile, attendance and billing through the members app.

Several a year: pub nights, summer barbecues, Christmas lunches, the odd meal out in Ely. Members only, and nobody talks shop for long.
