Dear All

91 tickets have been sold for the Summer Social. The event organised by KC should be another success. Great work KC!

Lets have a last minute push on ticket sales. Can you please show your support by liking/sharing adverts on Linkedin and Facebook if possible.

I look forward to seeing those of you who are coming on Thursday.

Regards

Riz

That's great KC, do let us know if you need any other help with the event. I'd be happy to be the photographer as usual

Samar: any great event need a good photographer. So Ur help will be much appreciated 

Riz: thanks for the push!

Rest: I manage to get the venue to include their special QianLong Cocktail as one of the coupon drink. The coupon can also change to either a glass of house white/red or soft drink (no beer I'm afraid... I demand better!) I will sort out the coupon myself 

The venue has two floors & they will be open for us to utilise. Ground floor plus spillage to the street can hold 80 but I manage to get them to open the basement just in case. 

Also there is bar snack people can order via the... Bar. 

Can I get some of the committee team to arrive a touch early just in case. All of your help is much appreciated. 

The early bird tix is all gone. Those who paid on the door will be £10. We got to recoup some of the expense. 

Please try to register urself on http://events.bizzabo.com/wldn0714 to enhance Ur networking experience :-)

Finally for those who is keen to know. Eventbrite take 78p & Paypal take 40p cut off the £6 ticket. & the remain should manage to cover the 1st Drink & the venue... just.

What a pity I can't be there as its my daughters birthday - out for dinner.
:(
I could have worn my new summer outfit, had my hair done and got my agent to negotiate my appearance fees. Maybe next time.

Thanks a lot for the great event KC and to all the committee members who attended! You can check out the photographs on facebook, can someone help me upload these on LinkedIn too?

On another note, two people have gotten in touch with me asking for their names to be added to the mailing list. Could the member in charge of managing the mailing list please help me out. Thanks!

Kc - excellent event yesterday, well done !

Many new faces (110+ attendees) and I received really good feedback.
I think we may need to include more socials in the diary.

Samar- send this pics to me and I will load them on LinkedIn.

See you all soon

Thanks for group effort. 

Will like any feedbacks: positive or more importantly things that we can improve.

Riz: perhaps someone should write a brief Article for event so that we can send over to get our effort Recognise. 

All & all thanks for time & "sweat"

Thanks for the effort & I just want to share some of the headline feedback via survey monkey 

Generally speaking, the venue is too small for our ambition, which leads to ppl rather choice view on the venue. To be frank I expect ppl spill over the street but it did not materialise :-( 

I got a few other venue in mind that is more user friendly. So expect another social drinks in the near future.

It's a tricky one.

To find a venue in Central London is going to cost . As KC mentioned the Hilton wanted a £45/head min spend. I think £10 was comfortably priced but a spacious location in London will not be cheap!

Also, unless we have an area set aside it makes networking harder. The badges point is valid but for £6 plus a drink (including fees) where will the ££ come from,

If you recall at the free Hilton event last year people were asking where the drinks were??? Certainly food for thought for the next meeting.

Great event!

The venue issue is like income tax - a great problem to have - it is a problem of success, we sold lots of places so it was full!

Fwiw I didn't miss name badges one little bit.

Well done KC - sorry to have missed it was in paris for work. 


i think we need a general survey? Asking about type of events? frequency of them they prefer? paid event? how much etc? 

What do you think guys?
