Business Networking Near Horndean: The Weekly Wednesday Group

The short answer

We do not know of a weekly business networking group that meets in Horndean itself. The nearest one meets in Cowplain, the next village down the A3: every Wednesday at 4.30pm at Waterlooville Golf Club, Cherry Tree Avenue, Cowplain, PO8 8AP. It is open to Horndean business owners.

You need a ticket and an invitation to attend. Ask for a free guest ticket here. Your details go to Alyson, who runs the group for BNI Hampshire, and she confirms which Wednesday you are coming.

Who it is for

The group is the Waterlooville chapter of BNI, a new afternoon referral group. It draws business owners from Horndean, Cowplain, Waterlooville, Clanfield, Lovedean and Denmead, from financial and professional services to trades and creative industries.

What happens at a meeting

Every member gets 60 seconds each week to say what their business does and who they want to meet, and members take turns giving a 10-minute talk about their business. Members pass each other qualified referrals, and those referrals are checked and tracked. Only one business per trade or profession can hold a seat, so nobody in the room is competing with you. The group is still forming, so most seats are still open, and there is no membership fee until it reaches 20 members.

For a Horndean business that matters, because your trade's seat may still be free. Once another business in your line of work has taken it, it is gone.

How to visit

Fill in the form with your name, business, trade, mobile and email, and choose a Wednesday. Alyson contacts you to confirm. Guests can attend up to two meetings before deciding whether to apply, and membership applications are reviewed by the group's leadership team.

Is it worth the trip from Horndean?

It is a weekly commitment, so it suits businesses that live on word of mouth and want a steady flow of introductions: trades, accountants, solicitors, mortgage and insurance advisers, estate agents and similar local services. The 4.30pm start means you can finish the working day first. One visit as a guest will tell you whether the room deals with the customers you want.

Other networking for Horndean businesses

Horndean is in East Hampshire, but the neighbouring borough of Havant runs the Havant Business Partnership with Havant & South Downs College: informal networking events through the year, mostly in the early evening. Details are on the Havant Borough Council website. There is more in the Waterlooville business networking guide.
