As a new member to Birmingham Future I was a bit dubious of whether or not to attend the quiz night. But boy am I glad I did. A night full of great people, nice drinks, exciting food and hard questions.
The event was held at HBJ Gateley Wareing, one of Britain’s top Law Firms right here in Birmingham. Once I was greeted by a Birmingham Future coordinator and given my name tag, I was taken to the quiz room. Greeted again but with a glass of wine this time…things are definitely going well so far. A spot of pre-quiz networking took place before the main event got started.
Some people came with their colleagues and others were designated team members. I was one of them, and I must say I was very happy with my designated team. A nice group of people from all different industries so needless to say we had lots to talk about. That was until the quiz got started…”Question Number 1”…absolute silence for a moment until we all laughed and realized that this quiz wasn’t going to be as easy as we had all hoped!
Many difficult and interesting questions later – we stopped for a break. There was a great choice of food in running with the diversity theme. A buffet of little goodies from all over the world. We had Samosas from India, Won Tons from China, Fish and Chips from England (of Course) and even a vast selection of desserts. But the main point is with business cards flying everywhere, we all got to network with a range of companies until the second half began.
At this point I would like to say our self named group; The Politically Incorrect did very well, but unfortunately we were defeated by many. But it was Team 3 who managed to score the trophy as well as a great prize for each member. Well done guys!
Overall; an all round great night to network and meet new people. I will definitely be attending the next event!
