UKNM: NoW NeWs

[Speechrad]

For those of you not frightened of those strange Birmingham accents and dark 

Midlans evenings.


News From North of Watford


Sorry not to have been in touch. We have been busy completing our business 

plan. We also attended the FT Midlands meeting which I personally found 

disappointing, but that's my view.  The sole advantage appearing to be 

contact with our guest speaker for the next meeting.


Peomotion of NoW

I was pleased to note that NoW has been mentioned in Internet Millionaire 

magazine March issue - a good omen for us all?


Robin at www.dvisions.co.uk (note the spelling) agreed to help promote NoW 

and using their promotion skills added us to the major directories in a 

format that he assured me ensures a high profile.


Next Meeting

The next meeting will be on 8th March at 7.30pm. Usual venue ;)


Guest Speaker - David Bell of 3i will be discussing investment in Internet 

startups. David tells me he is going snow boarding the following week so if 

anyone wants to supply him with some light reading like an executive summary 

for his ensuing convalescence I'm sure he'd appreciate it.


We have also been offered a presentation from Commtouch which provides 

web-based email,  ICQ integration, web-based calendaring,  spam protection, 

unified messaging and supports over 18 different

languages. Those currently building new websites may be interested in this 

service. Commtouch supplied the web email for Excite.


We anticipate the presentations starting at about 8pm and finishing around 

9pm allowing time for 'mingling' and doing deals.  


As we expect this to be a popular meeting we are asking everyone to 

pre-register by sending an email to

infonorthofwatford [dot] com

  giving your 

name, company/organisation name, and number attending.


Feedback from January Meeting:

David Rose from DCX.st who spoke at the last meeting has asked me to pass on 

an announcement about his new magazine e-first which is attached below.

Regards,

Michael
