Welcome to Jelly Co-Working Event in Banbury - a chance to get out of the (home)office and work alongside other like-minded business people for a day a month.
Kindly hosted by Colin Sanders Innovation Centre in a fabulous meeting room with tea, coffee and biscuits(payment via an honesty box). There is space for 12 people with laptops, free wifi, free parking.
What is Jelly?
Jelly is a casual monthly co-working event, where homeworkers, freelancers, small business owners and office based people who want a change of environment once in a while can get together with their laptops once a month to have a change from their usual workplace, meet some new people and work together in a social environment .
Jelly is mainly about work with a bit of chat, sharing ideas, helping others with business issues, passing on tips and maybe even collaborating on a new project
Jelly is NOT networking- the aim is not to pitch your business or try to sell to anyone- if that is what you are looking for there are plenty of excellent networking groups in Oxfordshire.
Jelly was started in the States and is now increasingly popular in the UK with over 20 active co-working groups already and more starting up every month
So if you have ever felt isolated in your home office/ work office and want to meet some other like-minded people in a different work environment, then Jelly is for you- its FREE so come along and give it a try!
