RAIL 100 Breakfast Club

If you are interested in joining Rail 100 Breakfast Club, please contact
Club Manager Sandy Davis. sandy.davis@bauermedia.co.uk Tel: 01733 395094.

The RAIL100 Breakfast Club is a business networking and social club run by RAIL magazine for the industry’s top managers. In addition to established professionals, we welcome newcomers to the railway and associated industries.

Membership runs from January to December but, subject to available places, taken be taken out at anytime during the year.

The Club meets four times a year for a business breakfast, with a formal dinner in November. Designed with just 100 members in mind, we gather for breakfast at Simpson’s in the Strand, in London, with registration from 0700 on meeting days. A full English breakfast (or whatever your choice is!) follows at 0745, with a guest speaker at 0815, and then questions and confidential discussion until 0900, when the formal meeting ends. We have the room until 1000 to allow members to continue discussions, hold their own meetings or simply relax with a cup of coffee.
