About the event
Our guests passed under the neon heart which sits over the doorway of this gorgeous venue to find the tables not only laid with the usual napkins and flowers but also with Board Games. We started early and set about mastering Backgammon, Sorry!, Geo Bingo, Impossipuzzle and many more. It was a great ice breaker and had actually been suggested by one of our guests Nick, from the Carers Network. Great call Nick!
Poster seats 60 and 20 of our guests were from Oaktree Capital who came as part of their 'Community Matters' programme. They came armed with games, enthusiasm and open hearts and like our regular guests they entered into the spirit of Mike's Table, happily dining and chatting with people they probably would never normally meet. The atmosphere was buzzing, conversations heated and fun, new friendships were formed. It was great.
