DWIB Simply Networking
DWIB Simply Networking is a new style event for 2024 where the emphasis is simply networking. No lunch, brunch or dinner to pay for; it’s simply networking! Although we’ll keep you going with teas and coffees, of course.
As ever it’s a women-only event with a friendly and informal vibe.
This Simply Networking event will be held at the Redcliffe Hotel in Paignton.
About the venue
The Redcliffe Hotel in Paignton, South Devon, was originally designed by retired Colonel Robert Smith, an accomplished architect, engineer, and artist. Smith extensively redesigned an existing building he purchased in 1853, adding three wings that housed a glass-domed plunge bath, a picture gallery, and 23 bedrooms and dressing rooms.
After Smith’s death, the property changed hands several times and was converted into a hotel in 1903 without losing its unique appearance. Today, the Redcliffe Hotel is part of The Tudor Hotels Collection.

DWIB Networking at Moor Trees
2024-08-16 10:00 - 11:30 | Dartington Tree Nursery, Barracks Hill, Dartington, Devon, TQ9 6DQ, United Kingdom
DWIB Networking at Moor Trees
Join us for relaxed, women-only networking with refreshments at Dartington Tree Nursery, run by the charity, Moor Trees. Go behind the scenes, meet the passionate team and get your hands dirty with a fun tree-related activity.
Learn how YOU can make a difference and discover how planting trees with Moor Trees combats climate change, creates habitats and increases biodiversity on Dartmoor.
About Moor Trees
Moor Trees is an independent charity dedicated to restoring native woodland on Dartmoor and in South Devon. They aim to improve the environment and connect people with their forest heritage.
“We have a new vision for Dartmoor, one that looks wilder, with woodlands that form part of a mosaic of restored natural habitats, offering significant benefits in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss; woodlands that coexist with farming, archaeology and recreation, connecting people to nature and to their heritage.
The way people look at England’s upland areas is changing. There is a growing realisation that many areas of the UK, including Dartmoor, would naturally be more wooded. Restoring native woodland can bring multiple environmental benefits, as trees (and their soils) help to retain water and reduce flooding, as well as sequestering carbon. It would also allow many species of animals and plants currently confined to remnant fragments of woodland to flourish. Our vision includes building a landscape that is teeming with insects, birds and animals, including livestock, Dartmoor ponies and deer, beavers, wild boar, eagles, cranes, red squirrels, pine martens, and more.”
