Elaine Rogers has just announced OpenCoffee Mallow. It’s fantastic to see another OCC in Munster and, having talked to Elaine, I know she has a great vision for facilitating business networking in that part of the county.
If you find the trip into Cork City or Limerick too far or you just need a change of scene, then why not attend?
The first one is on in Springfort Hall, New Twopothouse, Mallow, on Tues 7th July 2009 in the main bar from 10 am to 12 pm. Contact: Elaine Rogers on 086-1955660 or Gráinne Sherlock on 086-2119326
We have the following dates and locations finalised for the next few months. For the undecided locations, it will either be Nosh+Coffee in the City Centre or somewhere that we have been invited to. Feel free to invite us somewhere!
We meet, as always, from 10am-12

This week’s Cork OpenCoffee is in the Rubicon building in CIT from 10am-12pm.
The demo/talk slot is about a new business idea from John Peavoy, Bartosz Ptaszynski and Phoebe Bright. It is about helping companies jumpstart their software ideas. They would like to share their plans so far and hear your views on whether the business will work, and if so, what markets they could target and who they should involve.
We will ask Mr Cotton to provide the coffee and this will require a small donation from everyone to cover the cost.
Thanks again to the Rubicon for kindly hosting us.
