Just out of interest, anyone else on here a member?

We hold the Architecture seat in the Endeavour chapter in Plymouth

Until I retired, I was a member of BNI Burton in south Wales. I was also DC for the group.

Ah nice - just clicked your profile. Please tell me you actually did a 10 minute presentation wearing the monkey head? haha

The Landscaper in our chapter did his 10 minute presentation last week. His presentation was building a deck in the meeting room using the members - one of whom wasn't allowed power tools at home! Thankfully everyone went home with a full compliment of limbs/fingers

My company was Action Play Equipment, APE.Wales. The mask was part of the branding, I often wore it to meetings.

Also, we used to install zip lines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iApq81lomT0

Found it to be very cult MLM

Good for sole traders growing their one man band business.

Plenty of fake referrals

Only did it as part of a role I had and the business was involved in it.

Yes I suppose it can seem a little "culty" the use of the word "chapter" and some chanting of Giver's gain doesn't help that... but in my experience in the Devon and Cornwall chapters it's very easy going, yet still highly focussed.

And yes, there can be a lot of bullst referrals flying around - so one has to be careful both of being given them and also giving them.

The trades do very well out of it.

This like the masons without the goats getting bothered?
