…and Winchester said ‘ow!’ – what a night! Kicking off at 6pm the members of Capital Winchester gathered at the Bishop on the bridge for some pre-dinner drinks – not everyone could make it for the whole night but almost everyone put in an appearances.

The event was in celebration of the visitor day networking event that Capital Winchester BNI had held earlier that morning. A lot of work had gone into making it happen and it had really paid off with some very valuable business being passed between the members and visitors in attendance.

After a couple of hours drinking, courtesy of Capital Winchester BNI, it was decided that we really should head out in search of food, it didn’t take long to reach a decision to head up to Gandhi’s, one of Winchesters longest running restaurants.

The guys at Ghandis really outdid themselves in the hospitality stakes, first they found room for all of us in the restaurant (even though we’d given them no prior warning), they then spent the whole evening making sure that everyone had enough food and drink.

After a feast fit for a Maharajah, we finished up with an aperitif and left at around 12 – the owner even gave a couple of us a lift home, and to the station!

At Capital Winchester BNI we believe in developing relationships which is why the whole night was paid for out of the Capital Winchester BNI coffers. If you’d like to get in on the action – why not get in touch to request an invite to one of our breakfast meetings – we look forward to meeting you.
