Can any one recommend this as a viable option as a couple of people have told me about it now and they both say it is very good for getting work.

Just wondered if anyone has tried it and if it produced any work for them.

it may work for some, but on a personal note this sort of thing leaves me feeling cold.
was asked to join the funny handshake brigade a few times ,but all that ass kissing etc. isn't my cup of tea

quality work at realistic prices is all i want to do,and let the clients do the advertising

I was told that it is £7 each week for 'breakfast' and around £360 a year to join.
And that is why i asking because I think it is more or less the same as the funny hand shake brigade just under a different name. I believe it goes along the same lines of you scratch my back and I will scratch yours. :rock:

problem is if you need a mortgage or your car repaired ,i think you have to use 1 of your peers in the group,I could be wrong on this.

I have a couple of m8s high up in the masons and it costs them a small fortune entertaining other masons and their wifes.

maybe for larger sized companies==> say 20-50 staff this sort of thing may work ,but for most of us 3-10 man outfits it looks like a no-brainer
I'm sure there was someone on here who reckoned it was good,cant remember who?
