Find the gap in the market
BUT
Be sure there is a market in the gap
Do your extensive market research first.
There are already a number of clubs out there some good and some not so good.
Clubs MUST be for "protected Invention propagations" NOT "Pick your own cherry orchards"
You can find other clubs from many places on the Internet
Ideas21 is a good place to start.
http://www.ideas21.co.uk/about-us/
Birmingham Inventors
www.birmingham-inventors.org.uk
20 years old
£20 per year - OK
It works well and is well attended
BlackCountry Inventors
http://www.communigate.co.uk/bc/bci/
12 years old
£20 per year – OK
This used to be a great club when run by Len & Lorna the instigators,
BUT is now just an old man's tea and biscuits evening! With few attendees, Things will change
Institute of Patentees and Inventors
I am TOLD it is the oldest inventors club
£75? per year – expensive and needs revitalising
Some good advice on this website but in my opinion it costs too much to join
Ideas21 London – Last Tuesday Club
4 years old
£35 per year – OK
£15 - £20 per meeting –Costly but you choose
Meetings supply a good talk/lecture BUT are mainly an excuse for the following booze up.
OK one can network 1to1, but meetings I have attended were cramped and noisy.
A very good and informative web site, regular emails
Watch out - VPs are allowed to attend.
Ideas21 Manchester – 2nd Tuesday Club
2 years old
£35? per year – OK
£15 - £20 per meeting –Costly
As above - Meetings supply a good talk/lecture BUT are mainly an excuse for the following booze up
OK - one can probably network a little.
Isle of Wight Round Table of Inventors
6 years old
£20 per year – OK
No Knowledge as yet
Wessex Round Table of inventors
? Years old
£20 per year – OK.
RIP - David Nicholas 9/8/1933 - 17/12/2004
David was a moving force at this club,
Unfortunately he is no longer with us and will be very much missed.
Meets once a month £5 per meeting = £60 py
£60py is about the max I would say is OK
It is a very pro-active (but young) club, great if they can keep it up
Is a brilliant initiative and I have been allowed to be part of it.
Please GIVE your FULL support to this project.
Rural Inventors Club
Plaistow West Sussex
Graham Rawlinson
01403 871159
No knowledge of this Club (if it is a club for inventors)

British Inventions Society
Not officially launched until Jan 2005
I had great hopes that the BIS would change a lot of the bad things for the better.
BUT it’s done nothing in the last 12 months and worse: -
The BIS may be more BULLSHIT.
Lots of self praise many hidden agendas
I am still trying to get it to do what it professes to be doing.

I went and had a look and Yes there is some GOOD advice on HIS pages BUT being suspicious of anyone DEMANDING trust I sent an email asking if he was a VULTURE PREDATOR. He replied with a telephonenumber, so I phoned him and the impression I got was that he uses this way to find investors for his own projects.
