How can members mix around at a buffet restaurant?<\/p>\n

It’s always a battle.\u00a0 When we gather together, we all love to plong ourselves on a chair. Then, we don’t move for the next 2-3 hours.\u00a0 And then members complain we should move around because we are not mixing around.\u00a0 Then, we have introductions, games, and members feel they have no time to network.<\/p>\n

I like an “All standing gathering” with a drink on the left hand and some snacks on serving tables. We keep our right hand for shaking hands. But then, we complain the legs are just not that strong. “Why no chairs?”<\/p>\n

At Hans restaurant, some tables are long, and we don\u2019t know who to talk with, on the right or on the left.\u00a0 Some tables are small, and we squeeze and again, we don\u2019t move.<\/p>\n

What about a buffet restaurant? \u00a0If we go for a buffet lunch or dinner, and we sit down in tables of four, how are we going to mix and network.\u00a0 At the end of the gathering, we go home knowing 3 persons, and not knowing the others.\u00a0 What can we do?<\/p>\n

SilverHairs love to make friends.\u00a0 Don’t have to go into the why’s. How do we mix and network at monthly gatherings and still get to know a good number of other members?<\/p>\n

There is always a spread of food on the serving table.\u00a0 Nowadays, the restaurants serve ah la cart buffet or order as you like.\u00a0 And, each of us get our own plates, bowl and fork and spoon.\u00a0 Can we move ourselves, say every 30 mins?\u00a0 The EO can “ting a glass” and time to move.\u00a0 Those who don’t want to move can sit still; others can move.\u00a0 We do it 3 times, and in 2 hours, we get to meet a new set of friends.<\/p>\n

What do you think?\u00a0 Do you have ideas?<\/p>\n
