Anyone done/doing BNI (business club)?
I attended one last week (06:30) and remain quite intrigued.
It's essentially a business networking group that people attend to share leads/recommendations/advice and to generate more business for themselves and their 'new' mates. Business Networking - BNI UK
Whilst there isnt much doubt that it does do that, its money every week, a joining fee, a membership fee and then you are also expected to help manage the running of it and recruit new members. Nice little earner there for someone!!! It is also a bit 'American'...
However it may well be worth it, so anyone any experience here?
Cheers

a friend does it (Cambridge area)
He thinks its quite useful etc, especially if you have a product or services that would appeal to small/medium businesses
but it does sound a bit Ra RA American to me

Not for me but I know my accountants are part of this and they are a big company that would not spend money on something that would not work. I think I found a solicitor through my accountant who met through BNI and my book keepers are also part of it so maybe it works?

yeah you have to pay. I used to attend business for breakfast, if you can afford it, it might and the word there is might get you some leads, but I got more return on sending letters out through the local chamber of commerce than I did in 3 months of attending. and 6:30 in the morning isnt for me as i'm a night person.
