I chanced to come across a cafe with good ambience, good quality bread & confectionery, quiet and good for relax casual conversation. This cafe has a small sitting area. The problem with large group is that not everyone can sit at one table in a large gathering (in any cafe). This will result in many sub-groups formed. To have effective conversation, a small group is desired, possibly 6 pax including me (for this gathering). We have to be mindful these type of outlets (proposed for 19\/9) are not suitable for large gathering and long sitting. \u00a0To be considerate, we will not spend more than 90 minutes in the shop. If longer time is necessary, we can adjourn to the food court upstairs.<\/p>\n
Details of the first gathering and sharing are as follows:<\/p>\n
Objective: Getting to know each other better through sharing our skills, life experiences, etc.
\nPlace: Within the NEX Mall (Serangoon)
\nDate: 19-09-2013 (Thursday)
\nTime: 3PM to 5PM
\nMenu: Desserts with a cup of coffee\/tea cost less than $7.00 or you can just order a drink.
\nMeeting Place: Serangoon Station (North-East Line) – control room\/office.<\/p>\n
We will start walking to the cafe at 3.05pm.<\/p>\n
Invitation will be sent to the first five confirmed participants.<\/em><\/p>\n If this idea of networking is well received, I may consider to have it on a monthly basis, say every 3rd Thursday of each month. Venue can change but the basic awareness of good ambience, reasonable expenditure and healthy food to be the prime consideration. The number of participants possible will depend on the sitting arrangement at the next proposed venue.<\/p>\n Criteria for invitation for the next gathering:<\/p>\n Though invitation is based on first-come first-served, we will hold back the confirmation – on those who have just attended the last month (for the balance 50% number) to allow new members to have a chance to meet new friends – until one week prior to the event date.
