A Few Quiet Yarns - AKLD - April 26th 2018

Welcome to AFQY April

A Few Quiet Yarns is the no-selling network where you can meet people and create genuine relationships which business can flow off the back of - come and "Get to know a person the person, not their suit" and make genuine connections.

This event presents the opportunity for all good people to form a social or personal relationship where you can understand the 'cut of a persons jib'. There is a no-selling rule which includes not giving your card out unless you've been asked for it; no one wants to be hawked widgets, they want to have intelligent and fun discussions with good people - so come have a yarn, there is always plenty to talk about!

Event Format:

• 5.00pm: Doors open - ensure you bring your ticket to gain entry please - Find Ryan, scan your ticket
• 5.30pm: Event begins, Bar Tab is open (see tab details below under venue for food and beverages)
• 6.00pm: The first round of introductions for everyone in the room

• 7.00pm The Third round of introductions
• 7.30pm The closing round of introductions, tab reverts to a cash bar.
