Comic Relief

On Friday 18th March (Red Nose Day) a small raffle was held and £41.00 was raised for Comic Relief. The Red Noses were a problem because when wearing them you cannot Breathe, Talk or DRINK and Networking is all about socialising with other business people. Somehow we all managed to socialise.

Guess who won the bubbly...

On Friday 18th March the evening was sponsored by Quality Solicitors, Hill and Abbott. The first business card to be pulled out of the bucket was Wayne Collier's.
