Tonight - the art of networking

If I was in London tonight I would definitely go to this event organised by Spread the Word. 
First 
I would get the chance to get all nostalgic chilling out in a Fleet Street pub. Some of my best moments (so far) happened in Fleet Street.  My first job was at 21 Fleet Street, next door to the Cock Tavern..At 16 editorial assistant, fetcher of messages and maker of numerous cups of tea 
Second 
The event is billed as a chance to practice your meeting and greeting skills and that does sound like a good idea. Especially if networking doesn't come naturally.
WHEN  15 February 6.30pm -- 9pm COST £7 - it is regular event so check out the website for similar evenings in the future
WHERE The Punch Tavern in Fleet Street (on the corner of Farringdon Street)
