LINKED IN SEMINAR (01/09/2011)

THURSDAY 29 SEPTEMBER 2011 - 09.30 to 16.00 HILTON, ST ANNE'S MANOR, BRACKNELL, RG40 1ST Fee: Ł175 including lunch and refreshments While the name on people's lips when they talk about Social Networking tends still to be "Facebook", when it comes to Business Networking then there really is only one place to be online and that is "LinkedIn". Come and find out why over 100m business people worldwide, 6m in the UK, consider LinkedIn to be the pre-eminent business networking platform online. A place where professionals have the ability to connect, develop their sales and market themselves, their skills, services and products. The workshop is based on two core "how to" sessions consisting of a 2-hr morning session and a 2.5hr afternoon session, containing information slides and online demonstration. In the morning we will be ensuring you have the foundations in place by examining how to create personal and company profiles which will act as vital marketing tools for you, both on and off LinkedIn. At mid-day we'll enjoy a networking lunch connecting with others at the workshop. We then turn our attention to how to use LinkedIn as a key sales and marketing tool both to actively research potential clients or partners and also to position yourselves effectively to ensure that people looking for the products and services you offer can find you. THE SESSION WILL BE RUN BY MARK WHITE. With a background in international business development and marketing, Mark has spent the past 8 years working with organisations helping them make best use of online marketing, social media in general and LinkedIn in particular. He also practises what he preaches, so you can be sure of up to date, tried and tested and practical advice.

OFAS FIFTH ANNUAL GOLF DAY - Wednesday 18 May 2011 (17/02/2011)

OFAS 5th Annual Golf Day Wednesday 18 May 2011 Chigwell Golf Course, IG7 5BH Our 5th Annual Golf Day in Chigwell was as great a success as ever with Colin Titlow from Team Chaucer finally being declared the Overall Winner by the narrowest possible of margins, the plaudits of gallant Runner-up going to Martin Graham. The Team Prize went to Team Claremont, with Garry Hilditch of Team Task winning the Longest Drive. Ian Weddell of Team Connection was presented with the cup for Nearest the Pin - sadly just missing out on the car on offer for a hole in one. The generosity of companies in donating prizes saw Ł370 raised in the raffle for Yorda Advertures charity. We are taking bookings now for Wedneday 16 May 2012 when we shall return to Chigwell for the 6th Annual Golf Day. Book for your team or just for yourself by calling Alan on 01344 779 438.
