Another geography networking idea:

"Think Global at your Local"....

Taking the idea of the TEACHMEET, which is a very successful one from Scotland.

Arrange to meet with other local colleagues in a room at a pub in a central location, hopefully with WIFI and arrange for people to bring short ideas to share with the others. The TEACHMEET model can be adapted in numerous ways...
A few freebies to hand out, and a good time will be had by all (including the designated drivers...)

"See the world through the bottom of a pint glass."

How about invites printed on beer mats ?

I think this idea is 'a goer', and you might see me in a pub near you sometime in the next year....

"The 46,450 square foot Marston Gate Distribution Centre was opened in November 2000 with over 300 people involved in its construction. The centre delivers orders placed at Amazon.co.uk to customers across the country and to more than 200 countries worldwide. In the Distribution Centre there are four different picking levels in the picking tower with
