Retford Business Forum CIC (RBF) meets on the first Monday of every month, except at bank holidays, when it's the second Monday.

We are all volunteers and attendance at our monthly meetings is open to every business, organisation or individual committed to working in association with RBF CIC to achieve its aims and objectives.

Being a Community Interest Company which benefits the community rather than private shareholders, Retford Business Forum (RBF) promotes the interests of people, businesses and organisations of Retford and its surrounding area.  We hold events and activities throughout the year to attract local people and visitors into town, thereby helping to increase footfall and spending.

MEETINGS
Most meetings are held remotely via MS Teams, starting at 6pm with the link open from 5.45pm, and every quarter, in March, June, September and December, we aim to meet face-to-face if a Retford town centre location can host us.

DECEMBER 2026 MEETING - venue TBA

Our next meeting will be a face-to-face meeting on Monday 7th December.   Arrival is from 5.45pm and the meeting starts at 6pm prompt and ends around 7.30 pm and we would love you to join us!
