The Institute of Fundraising North West group are holding a “Speed Networking” supper
later this month.
Speed dating, where you spend just minutes talking in turn with
a range of potential dates all looking for a partner, is now being applied to the
fundraiser sector at an unusual event to be held by the Institute of Fundraising
North West.

Their Speed Networking Supper is designed to help members of the regional group 
get to meet other members and make useful professional contacts. Romance is not 
expected to blossom, but the organisers hope their members will build up a whole
range of useful contacts in their fundraising work.

The event will take place on 23 September 2004 at the Dunkenhalgh Hotel, Accrington,
starting at 6.30pm.
