LimeGray Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hi everyone! I am interested in getting together online with like-minded people who run or want to run a business in France. It strikes me that there are loads of Brits out there, working away with the same challenges, trying to find solutions on their own. If we all worked together, perhaps we could make life easier for each other? I am thinking about a strictly non-commercial, online meeting place where we can exchange ideas and opportunities and ask each other for help and support when times are tough? What do you think?

TheVicar Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Sounds like a good idea (in theory). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeGray Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 If anyone interested wants to email me with thoughts about how it could run, please do so. Thereafter, I will pool together the ideas and email everyone with a proposal....and take it from there.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 HiHad the thought some time ago myself, have the website, still sat there with nothing on it.The simplest and probably most convenient way, is a forum with a chat room, which I have the software for, it just needs formatting.Am happy for you to host it in place, you just need to come up with a format / layout, and I would be pleased to do the programming . Then once up and running you just need to appoint forum police and your away :)The domain is http://www.talkingfrance.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Dixie Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Great idea. I have set up an online business and am desperate for any like-minded people to do some selling with me. I can't pay a basic but I can assure far greater returns than a gite or similar business. If anyone is interested, mail me through my site. I live in La Rochelle.www.findyourfleet.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiras_Back Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 You know there is a 'Brits in France' webring ... I'm part of it but being technologically 'thick' I'm not sure what benefits I get from it!Kira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
