It's fair to say that The Local Business Network (TLBN) isn't normal networking... many of our members have commented that some of the networking they'd done in the past felt a bit like "speed dating for business owners!". If you've done networking before then you'll know that this isn't a great way to build long term relationships. Poorly structured networking can lead to a "box full of business cards but no relationships". We don't want that to happen to you!
Here's what Business Owners are saying about why they joined:
to get better connected,
to get new ideas about what others are doing to survive and thrive in my business
to get new perspectives on what you're currently doing in my business
to improve my word-of-mouth marketing
to gain referrals
to meet like-minded business owners
to get out of the office
to make sales
to find good suppliers
to create new opportunities.
NETWORK MEETING FORMATS
ShowRoom is a Networking Meeting to get better connections between you and other local business owners. Better connections means more Word-of-Mouth Marketing and more referrals from business owners who will all be spotting work for you!
BoardRoom is a Mastermind Meeting to generate new ideas and insights for you and your business. Members work together to help each other with their challenges and what’s working, so that you can get your business ahead!
ClassRoom Meetings are Business education workshops with the focus on helping you become more profitable. You’ll get a workbook on a key topic and learn the best strategies and an action plan to implement!

They're for Business Owners... the people that make the key decisions in their business. This ensures that every person you meet, every connection, is valuable. Whether you're providing products or services to each other, creating opportunities together, or sharing business ideas... there's unlimited opportunity to tap into the people in the room to help you grow your business.
How It Works
The Network Meetings are regular morning meetings held in the same time-slot each fortnight. Usually 7.00am - 8.30am on a weekday. The meetings alternate between Showroom, Boardroom and Classroom. This way you are well connected with a range of members across the group.

Dodgy tenants have left a Tauranga landlord fuming and wanting property managers to clean up their act when it comes to selecting tenants.
Nicky Cox discovered syringes, bags of marijuana, point bags, and meth contamination throughout her Welcome Bay rental home when she was cleaning it out for her new tenants.
She says it the property managers should have to pay for the clean up costs - what do you think?
Whose responsibility should it be?

My horse grazes in the paddocks on the corner of Sandhurst and Maranui Roads, between Bayfair and Papamoa. Some very sad person stole my solar fence unit between 5.45pm on Sunday 28 May and 5.30 pm on Monday 29 May.

Some very sad person stole my solar fence unit between 5.45pm on Sunday 28 May and 5.30 pm on Monday 29 May.
This person would have had to climb over the fence on Maranui Road, enter the property, cross the paddock, walk past my horse and disconnect the unit, returning along the same path carrying the unit.
I take great care of my horse – this unit helps to keep him safe in his paddock and away from danger. I am gutted to think that someone has chosen to put my horse, and the public at risk.
I imagine this unit will be used to cultivate drugs, or be sold for money to purchase drugs. Sad.
I only hope some other horse owner hasn’t stolen it for their own horse(s). That would be even sadder.
The unit has a black front panel and rear orange casing. It has a red connector on the top right hand side of the unit, with a green connector below it. It has S10 marked to the left of the green connector.
Whatever the reason, I am giving you the opportunity of returning this – no questions asked. You have the chance to clear your conscience and begin to turn your life around. You can call me on 021 285 6609, or just pop the unit back into the paddocks somewhere, then call or text me that you have done the right thing.

Traffic woes was a big topic of concern following Neighbourly responses to the Bay News. We are curious how much longer is your commute to and from work or school from the same time last year? Has it improved or worsened?
