    Hi,

    I'm a member of the York group and its a relaxing and sociable way to meet other women business owners - particularly good if you work on your own or in a small organisation.

    If you are looking for networking purely as a lead generation exercise its probably not for you but if you want to meet like-minded people for support and discussion its great.

    Hi Valerie

    It is good to hear from you our next WIRE meeting is going to be on the Thursday 4th September. We are taking a break during August like many networking groups.

    If you can PM me your contact details I will put them on our mailing list so that I can notify you of details of the meeting closer to the time. It will be an evening meeting in September.

    Look forward to meeting you then

    Kind regards

    Ros

    This thread is totally sexist. I think I'm going to have to take WIRE to court for sexual discrimination.

    It's not quite as simple as that, is it, Chippie? As women we have to endure living in a patriarchal society. In many cultures women are still seriously oppressed. And in Western culture women are not equal, are not paid equally and do not have the same opportunities as men. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. It's a fact. For as long as modern society has existed in England it has been not only acceptable but almost expected for men to be part of male only clubs and organisations in business. The masons are a perfect example. They still have a huge influence in business and they are a male only organisation.

    As I say on my blog:

    "In 1905 Emmeline Pankhurst founded the Women's Social and Political Union and spearheaded the Suffragette movement, but despite the fact that women have more freedom than a hundred years ago we still live in a patriarchal society. Men are free to be good-looking, intelligent, talented and outspoken without being sneered at, denigrated, labelled or vilified. Women have the right to this freedom too."

    I am personally not inclined to join any group that excludes any member of society. But for you to jump on this group of women as you have is not the mark of a gentleman. Love.

    And putting a wink on the thread doesn't let you off the hook.
