Anthony Burke facilitated the first 811 Meeting for local businesses in and around Etchingham. The next meeting is planned for Thursday, 26th April at 08.00 pm. An 811 Meeting involves inviting 8 local business owners or business managers for 1 hour and 1 topic for a business related seminar. These sessions are in a relaxed workshop format.
