TBF Breakfast – 5th August, 8-9.30am, RICC

Holiday season? No! We’re still having a TBF breakfast meeting in August with our guest speakers Michael Westcott and Mark Bowes Cavanagh, co-chairs of Torquay United FC

With over 6,000 at their final match last season, TUFC is a well-loved and supported team, playing a big part in the local community. Since June 2024, the club has been under the new ownership of the Bryn Consortium, an exciting time of investment and growth.

This meeting is kindly sponsored by Gold, Westcotts Accountants (no relation to Michael!) and Silver, Charles Stanley - we really appreciate your support.

Tickets are £16 for a delicious breakfast, great networking and FREE parking (as long as you register your car details on arrival)
