1.  Monthly Meetings

Usually on the second Monday of each month members gather for informal networking from 17.30 - 18.15, with complimentary refreshments, before the business meeting and continue in the bar afterwards.

All new members and new member company representatives present are invited to introduce themselves at their first monthly business meeting.  See Meetings Schedule for dates.

2.  Business Safari

"Safari" networking events are held three times a year. When the Safari starts members go to the first table allocated on their card and then take it in turns to introduce themselves and their business to the 6 or 7 other members at their table - for "just a minute". After about 15 minutes everyone moves to their next allocated table to meet a new group of members who will no doubt have more good ideas. In theory no-one will sit down with the same person twice, so you should be able to exchange many new sales leads and new ideas for promoting business in Harrogate with everyone present.  See Meetings Schedule for Safari Networking events and Business Safari for full details of how the event unfolds.

3.  Focus Groups

The four Focus Groups operate informally to consider current issues and proposals for action on the following key topics:

Business Market Promotion

Promoting Harrogate

Town Centre Development

Traffic & Transport

The Group members come together periodically following Chamber Meetings and they also contact each other in between meetings to progress specific issues. See Focus Group page for details of the five Groups. Members can join any Focus Group they have a particular interest in.

4.  Membership Directory

5.  Mailing Services

The Chamber undertakes mailings to members and local VIPs every month and once a year to the whole Harrogate District.  (See Promotion Opportunities and Mailing Schedule pages for more information.)
