Creating a Networking Club

After attending several networking clubs, I came away with a bad taste in my mouth. One club was very excited that I was there, or it appeared to be with the vp and prez calling me and offering to do business with me....giving me referrals, etc. I started giving referrals. One member has even given me referrals. However, as soon as I got busy and could not attend any more meetings for two weeks in a row, and iron gate of silence slammed shut in my face.

I understand.

Now, I would like to start my own networking group where we don't make a point to try to get business from EACH OTHER, but just GIVE REFERRALS to others.

Anyone tried this themselves?
