What to expect

Most importantly, a warm welcome and good vibes throughout.

The first twenty minutes or so will general chit-chat. Please don't worry if you don't know anyone - I promise to make you feel welcome and make sure that you are fed and watered (no pressure on that score either by the way).

There will be chance for everyone to introduce themselves and their businesses - but in the least pressured/awkward way possible.

Time for a quick game to shake up the seating (again, no pressure - but we're not here to be clique-y are we?!).

A mini workshop from me (TBC).

More refreshments / mingling.

Finished by 12 latest.

No dress code - turn up however you wish. Likewise if you are late or have to leave early - we're all adults :-)
