A NEW, monthly networking breakfast club for Andover businesses launches on 9 September.

The Andover Breakfast Club will meet on the second Tuesday of every month at 8am, and the September and November meetings will be at the Hampshire Golf Club.

Andover MP Sir George Young has agreed to speak at the first meeting. The cost will be £10 for breakfast with no membership fee.

Tim Bishop, senior partner of Andover solicitors Bonallack and Bishop, who will be organising the event, said: "We are really excited to be able to launch the Andover Breakfast Club."

The club will follow the same relaxed and informal format as the Salisbury breakfasts.

"We at Bonallack and Bishop decided to start our own networking breakfasts for all local businesses, large and small, to gather on a monthly basis to exchange ideas and build good local relationships," said Mr Bishop. "The emphasis is very much on enjoyment and informality to keep a bright modern approach."
