Breakfast in Bodmin

Slightly off the web marketing topic - though only slightly mind, I went to Bodmin on Friday morning to meet the business league members there over breakfast, and give a talk about "What is Web 2.0 - and why should i care anyway?".

Well the League group over there meet in the Lanhydrock Golf club and Hotel, and what a lovely spot it is too. The restaurant is the type you would happily pay good money for an evening in: modern, smart, with huge windows looking out over the park, and great food. The members and guests there were a friendly crowd, one or two of whom I had met before, but politely tolerant of my usual excited rant about the possibilities open to businesses using Web 2.0.

But I think Bodmin will go on my list of great breakfast meeting locations, joining in no particluar order:

• Falmouth (where I'm a member), with a view of the sea from the beautiful old Falmouth Hotel, and a breakfast that includes black pudding and hogs pudding!
• St Austell where they meet in another golf club with another sea view across the bay towards Fowey.
• And Bodmin in the fantastic Lanhydrock golf club.
• Penzance - another sea view from the Lugger Hotel.
  

These meetings normally kick off at 7.30 am so you can get back to work by about 9.30, and the ones I have tried include:

• Tuesdays: Truro
• Wednesday: Penzance
• Thursday: Falmouth
• Friday: Bodmin & Redruth.

Anyway thoroughly recommended for good company and a free exchange of ideas, and particularly good for those like me that have only been in Cornwall for a year or so, and therefore still getting to know who everyone is!
