About this event

Networking and social event with a Christmas theme and quiz

For one night only, Marc Reid – former SIG Chair, Workplace Mediator, Trainer, and Author – returns to host his famous Christmas quiz! Expect a joyful mix of HR trivia, festive fun, and a healthy dose of total randomness.

But that’s not all… we’re thrilled to announce that Penny Bradshaw – HR Consultant, Leadership & Team Development Specialist, and Certified LEGO® Serious Play® Facilitator – will be joining us for a special interactive session showcasing the power of LEGO Serious Play for team engagement and creativity.

Join us for a relaxed evening filled with laughter, learning, and great company as you connect and mingle with people professionals, consultants, and peers from across the region. Whether you’re a member, non-member, or just curious about joining, everyone is welcome to this once-a-year opportunity to reconnect, recharge, and celebrate the season with your HR community.

There will be sandwiches, mince pies, chips and tea/coffee.
