Portsmouth Bombers FC is inviting business owners and entrepreneurs from Portsmouth and the surrounding community to a networking and marketing event called Connect Portsmouth, scheduled for Thursday, November 19, 2026.
The club says the cocktail-style gathering is designed to bring local businesses together so they can meet one another, share what they offer and explore ways to promote their products and services. The format combines informal networking with a marketing focus, giving participants the chance to make new contacts while raising the profile of their own enterprises. The club has framed the event as an opportunity for businesses of different sizes and sectors to find common ground and potential partners within their own community.
The invitation was issued through a press release from the club and carried by Dominica News Online. It is addressed to businesses in Portsmouth and in neighbouring communities, reflecting the club's wish to draw in a broad cross-section of the local commercial sector rather than a single trade or industry. Because the invitation is aimed at entrepreneurs as well as established owners, it also gives newer ventures a route into local business circles that might otherwise be harder to reach.
The notes available for this report do not state the venue, the starting time or whether there is any cost to attend, so interested business owners are advised to contact Portsmouth Bombers FC directly for those details. No figures on expected attendance, sponsors or the programme of speakers have been released in the material available, and no further comment from club officials or invited businesses has been published at the time of writing.
The event forms part of a wider effort to strengthen the ties between local sport, community life and the commercial activity that supports Portsmouth, the island's second town. Sports clubs in Dominica often serve as community gathering points, and a networking evening hosted by a football club places local commerce alongside the social fabric that the club already builds. Business owners and residents interested in the event will be able to follow further announcements from the club as the date of November 19 approaches.
