I am starting to get better at this #TuesdayCatchUp review blog, It has only been 14 days since the event this time.
Sadly I did not manage to get an official head count but what I do know is we had by far our best turn out to date. I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that came along and also the people that helped spread the word of the event.
Some of our lovely regulars were greatly missed but I am sure we will see them at the next event in March. @TrainWithKirsty @ChapelSpa @Eveslegwear @LukeStephens @fwh to name a few.
It is not a bad thing for #TuesdayCatchUp and the followers of the event but I am getting to the point where I feel that I need to apologies to the Exmouth Arms bar staff for making what should be a nice quiet shift one of the busiest night’s of their week. In fact here is an image of the people arriving to the last #TuesdayCatchUp.
Using my powers of mathematics and all my worldly knowledge I have come to the conclusion that as we had our biggest turn out yet we must have had a lot of new comers. Apologies if I did not manage to get around to introducing myself and showing you the ropes but I am confident you all managed to mix and mingle in the correct manor. I do not recall seeing anyone look particularly lost or scared amongst the group, if anything it was most likely me looking a bit dazed and confused because of the overwhelming turn out.
I cannot account for everyone else’s mingling but I certainly found myself speaking to some new and very interesting people, including a children’s book publisher, an accountant, lettings agent, charity worker and a company that deals with specialist painting prints.
The event also saw the return of the #TuesdayCatchUp #BigQuestion. This is a little, fun game we play to raise money for our local charity Winston’s Wish http://www.winstonswish.org.uk.
Everyone who wishes to get involved makes a small donation to our ever growing Winston’s Wish pot and get one guess at the #BigQuestion. This time around the question was “What is the combined amount of twitter followers of the people that have attended this month’s #TuesdayCatchUp”. With my ever fading memory I cannot remember the exact answer (32,000+/- I recall) but the three closest guesses came from @EllyPittaway @Taxationsaver @Creative_Scoop.
Between them they shared out the amazing prizes of a bottle of Moet kindly donated @LawsonWillett , A meal for two plus a bottle of wine donated by @TheExmouth and the top prize of a Twilight Spa for Two donated by @ChapelSpa.
To show the extent of the amount of people that turned up to the event once all was said and done and most people had left after an enjoyable evening of networking (23), that’s right 23 of us went out for a very enjoyable curry at the Indus Curry house on Bath Road http://www.induscheltenham.com
Not to get big headed, okay well maybe slightly big headed but 23 people is more than some networking events have turn up to the whole event not just the after party curry.
But to me that is not enough. I want more and more Cheltenham (Gloucestershire) business people to experience the joys and benefits of coming along to a #TuesdayCatchUp event.
So if you came along and enjoyed it then please feel free to bring a + 1,2,3,4,5,6,7….. next time you come along. If you have never been before then why not join us? The event is totally free and all enjoyed in a relaxed networking atmosphere.
I will be posting more information with regards to the March event closer to the time but for now so you can get it in your diaries the next #TuesdayCatchUp event is on the 6th March.
As always it will be taking place at the Exmouth Arms on the Bath Road in Cheltenham from 18:30 onwards.
Until then.. Adam out!
