Inspired by the warm weather, we will sit in Emma's garden to have a women's business roundtable. Bring food, wisdom and practical help.
About this Event

Join us in Emma's garden in Nottingham for a summer round table discussing business ideas and challenges, and sharing wisdom and tips over lunch.

  • Would you like a friendly, supportive sounding board for a business idea you are nursing or a challenge you are grappling with?
  • Have you wisdom to share from lessons you've had in your business this year or practical tips to share?

We'd love you to join us for lunch - it's a bring and share so please bring a vegetarian or vegan dish or anything that fits a particular diet you follow. We will supply a free glass of bubbly - both alcoholic and not.

Expect a relaxed atmosphere, opportunities to ask questions and to share information and offers from your business.

The address will be supplied to ticket holders. We recommend coming on bus or tram & then there's a 5 min walk at the end.

If it rains we will run the meeting online instead and will send you the link to join us.

This meeting is free for Blue Stockings Monthly Subscribers and £10 for guests. Bring a friend.
