Joint MBG and Andover Breakfast Club meeting is a success!

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

August 17th saw the first joint meeting between MBG and the Andover Breakfast Club (organised by Bonallack and Bishop). With around 40 people attending the meeting Our venue, The Copper Kettle, was at capacity for seating and providing everyone with a delicious hot cooked breakfast.

The event started with around half an hour to grab a cuppa and mingle with the members of both groups and then breakfast was served as the longest round-robin MBG has seen for a while took place. This ensured that everyone had an opportunity to stand up and introduce themselves and their business to the room.

After breakfast there was a last opportunity to speak to other networkers and to exchange business cards before the meeting wound down at 9am.

It was a pleasure to host Andover Business Breakfast and we hope to arrange a return event where MBG members can experience one of their breakfast networking events.
