I have just attended my first EBtweetup. Both David Ruddle & the Afton Hotel are very welcoming and, after some introductions from David and the relaxed atmosphere, I quickly found myself chatting to like minded people over some nibbles and a pint!
It is a good opportunity to network, meet new people, find out more about other local businesses and hopefully let others know about our own business.
I will definitely be attending again and would recommend to anyone thinking of going.

Eastbourne 'EBtweetup' took place last night (2/8/2012) at the Afton Hotel. I have just moved to Eastbourne and had an invitation to join the EBtweetup organised through thebestof Eastbourne founder David Ruddle.
An interesting mix of business and social conversations and nibbles, meeting other new and established members in a friendly atmosphere.
Being new to Eastbourne, this provided me with an opportunity to network and get a feel for what's going on in the town with a possibility to join up with like minded individuals who wish to contribute positively to maintain Eastbourne as a great place to live or visit.
Thanks. I recommend this event and will be a regular participant.

I met David a couple of years ago at a local Chamber of Commerce meeting and was immediately impressed by his enthusiasm, drive and commitment. We have, since then. worked together on a regular basis and it is now great to see all those valuable skills and attributes targeted into the Best of Eastbourne. With David at the helm the Best of Eastbourne can only go from strength to strength.

We have attended a few meetings at the Afton and have always found staff helpful and the food served has been very good.

In June 2012, Mike W said about Swain Brothers
Tim and Andy Swain replaced our original (and rather tired) windows to the front of our property with high quality double glazed units in June 2012. Right from the initial contact to the moment they left our property we couldn't fault anything. Excellent communication kept us up to date with how everything was progressing. There was no pushy selling they did exactly what we asked for. Their drive for perfection is clear in all that they do and nothing is too much trouble. I know that if there were to be a problem with our new windows that I could give them a call and they'd be round asap to solve the problem. We're really pleased with the finished product; it's transformed our home. Can't rate them highly enough!

With the "bestofeastabourne" site and supporting networking activity, David is constantly building on his promise to deliver real benefits to his members. I was recently very impressed by the concept of the 'trades' meeting, which has helped us build some links with some excellent local suppliers. The website and networking activities are now showing excellent ROI which is something I strictly assess in all our marketing activity.

A very big thank you to Marco and Cathy for making the guests of the first Eastbourne Tweetup so very welcome. Like all the the bestof Eastbourne members they went that extra mile to offer a first class service, providing some tasty snacks. It is little things like that and a warm welcome that make Afton special. I will definitely be back.

David is an excellent ambassador for the best of members he works tirelessly promoting us all via networking social media and just generally out and about in the community. Sceptical at first about the cost and viability of such a site I now know I worried without reason, he fights our corner, promotes us at ever opportunity and is our biggest advocate at all times. Thoroughly recommended and valued as a business partner. Keep up the good work and thank you for helping us raise our profile & promoting our business at all times locally
