Business Club enjoys a highly successful start
October 12, 2009

The Robins Business Club got off to a highly successful launch last Thursday. Twenty people from a wide variety of trades and professions attended the inaugural meeting at the newly named Latham Centre based at Newtown Football Club. Although it is still very early days, Jonathan Martin was clearly delighted by the encouraging start which exceeded his expectations.

"Jonathan is running this new venture on the club's behalf, with the aim of forging stronger links between the local business community and the club," said chairman Mike Jones (pictured).
"I think the club is now fully aware that we are running not just a football club but a business as well. If we can tap into the experience and knowledge of the Robins Business Club it will bring undoubted benefits to all parts of the club.

"Whilst recognising that the club needed the assistance of the business community, I told the meeting that Newtown FC offered tremendous opportunities to individuals to get involved in something that is both challenging and highly enjoyable. "Thanks to the club I have travelled to Latvia and Poland in the heady days of European qualification. I had the chance in 2002 to re-start the Vice Presidents Club and now to become part of a team that is striving to be amongst the best in Wales. I think we all gain something from our involvement in the club."
 
New member Nigel Kennedy of Insurance Brokers Rees Astley Ltd has agreed to sponsor the Welshpool game on October 24. He has also invited all Robins Business Club members to join his sponsorship party.  

"Following the successful launch, the party were shown around the new media room by Richard Bonfield and I have no doubt everyone was impressed by all the facilities available at The Latham Centre," said the chairman. "Our aim now is to market ourselves as THE place to go for conferences, business meetings, conferences, dinners, parties and entertainment."

The next meeting of The Robins Club is planned for November 12th, 2009 at 8am.
