On Thursday 8 December over 90 members joined us at Sprowston Manor for a morning of festive networking. Our featured charity for the breakfast was East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice (EACH). As delegates arrived early to get start they placed donated gifts for the charity under the Christmas tree.
The morning kicked off with a welcome from Colin Lang and Sophie Mayes from EACH. They then introduced our first networking ice breaker: The A-Z of Christmas. Delegates named a Christmas word for each letter of the alphabet, with many using ‘zzzzzz’ for the letter Z.
Breakfast was served and followed by the second ice breaker for the morning which brought out the creative side to our members. Each person was given a Christmas song to draw whilst others on their table attempted to guess what the song was. A gallery of those we collected can be seen in the images – including the best drawing from the morning (although we don’t know which song it is!).
After a safari move mixed delegates around, the last activity of a Christmas movie quiz took place. The questions were tough this year, with the highest score being 7/12. To finish the morning, EACH ran a raffle for two luxury hampers and Jay Warnes, NPS Property Consultants Ltd was crowned with the best Christmas jumper.
The morning was filled with laughter and a great festive spirit. Given the popularity of this event, we are looking to hold one in Norwich, one in Great Yarmouth and one in West Norfolk for 2017.
Merry Christmas!
