Guildford Rugby Business Club held its first meeting and welcomed the England rugby captain Chris Robshaw as its guest speaker.
The business club, organised by SNAP Sponsorship, was created as an initiative to bring rugby club sponsors and members together for a chance to network.
The first meeting, on October 24, saw Mr Robshaw speak during a question and answer session with fellow Harlequins player and Guildford head coach Dave Ward.
Stuart Clowser, Partner at Baker Tilly, said: "I thought it was a really well organised and run event, and i thoroughly enjoyed meeting the various business people from Surrey. Chris and Dave's discussions were really interesting and i thought it a good balance of insight and banter. I was also impressed with SNAP's vision for the Guildford Rugby Business Club and the high quality of networking opportunities."
