New venue for the MOCC August Meeting!

There was another excellent turn-out of over 20 people at July’s Mayo Open Coffee Club, held in the new location of the GMIT in Castlebar.

The meeting was facilitated by Tommy Morahan of Sli Nua Communications, and his discussion generated a great deal of discussion about how businesses can incorporate social media into their operations.

Apart from sharing knowledge from others involved in business in Mayo, the Open Coffee Club is proving an outstanding place to make valuable contacts.

There is no charge for attendance.

The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 4^th, in the Traveller’s Friend Hotel, Castlebar. This will be an informal get-together. All meetings start at 11am and last between one hour and 90 minutes.

The September meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 1^st, when Lesley Emerson of PR West and Liam Horan of Sli Nua Communications will facilitate a discussion on the best ways to prepare and present press releases about your business.

All you have to do is turn up on the day.
