Sarah Sports BNI's New Fastest Logo!

In the last edition of SuccessNet, we thought we'd found the fastest BNI logo in the UK when Inverness Highland chapter members sponsored their racing driver colleague Dave Newsham as he battled to win the Legends British Championship.

Now comes Kettering solicitor Sarah Franklin, member of Corby chapter, who reckons the BNI logos on her racing car are the fastest in Britain.

Sarah is racing in the first round of the televised 2005 AVO Ginetta Championship. Corby chapter Director Andy Mackenzie saw this as a great opportunity to get some local exposure for BNI, especially because Sarah gets a lot of media attention as the only woman competing in the championship.

Sarah commented, "Corby chapter is a really dynamic and pro-active group. It was great to get everyone's support and be able to promote BNI on my race car."

The last SuccessNet also featured the BNI logo covered automobile of Leo Petrik of the Gold Coast Region of Australia.

How many other BNI automobiles can there be out there?

Portugal
First Portuguese Chapter Launched

October 13th marks the official launch of the first BNI Business Group in Portugal, named BNI INVICTUS. One hundred and eight people from all over the country gathered for the launch held at the Portuguese Entrepreneurship Association (AEP) in the city of Porto. Some even travelled over 400 miles just to see what BNI is all about.

It was an amazing event! The Leadership Team was overwhelmed by the very positive response from our personal invitations. Visitors included top senior executives from prestigious organizations. Quite a few people have already handed in their applications and submitted payment.

BNI Portugal will host an informational meeting in Lisbon in the very near future, per the request of several visitors that travelled all way up from the Capital.

The amazing BNI system works in Portugal!
