Meeting on a weekday from 5pm to 9pm, the group allows those in full-time employment the opportunity to follow their entrepreneurial goals<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Treorchy pub, The Lion, is holding a presentation evening on 21 November for start-up business support group, the 5 to 9 Club, so that they can pitch their polished project plans to their peers.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the Welsh Innovation Centre for Enterprise\u2019s (ICE) outreach programme, the 5 to 9 Club has been meeting weekly at the old Burberry factory at Cwm Farm Shop, to receive tutorials on how to set up a successful business. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentation evening, held in the upstairs function room aptly named \u2018The Lion\u2019s Den\u2019, signifies the end of the eight-week workshop course, where all of the graduates can put what they have learned into action.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting at 5pm, there is expected to be 15 separate 3-minute pitches from the start-up students of the club, each with time for questions from the audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is free to attend.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesley Williams, the outreach engagement manager at Welsh ICE, explained that the pitches will be on a range of different business ideas, from the conventional to the obscure.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said, \u201cOf all our 5 to 9 clubs so far, this is definitely the most diverse we\u2019ve seen. For example, we have a driving instructor looking to expand to a wedding planner, and we have a new coffee roast brand!\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The venue for the presentations won the accolade of ‘best community pub in Wales’ in 2015<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adrian Emmett, the owner of The Lion<\/a> and chair of the Treorchy Chamber of Trade, and has given the 5 to 9 club his full backing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to Wales247<\/a>, he said, \u201cWe\u2019re really hoping to give the next generation of founders the help they need so they can start and build a business in Treorchy<\/a>.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 5 to 9 Club, the mission continues. \u201cI\u2019m always planning more!\u201d, Lesley said, \u201cOur next stop is Aberdare, then Ferndale, before revisiting Ebbw Vale to do the tour all over again.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur aim is to keep growing a healthy ecosystem of start-ups across the valleys, for the benefit of the valleys.\u201d
