Midlands Mixer marks exciting launch for region

Our newly reformed Midlands Region organised a successful Midlands Mixer event last week ahead its Tug of War Family Fun Day at the end June.

The mixer, which took place on Tuesday 3 June, was organised by Gina Thomson, Paul James, and Lynda Corrigan and welcomed 21 attendees, including our CEO Jonny Westbrooke, Immediate Past Master Brian Ahern, and Past Master Amanda Waring.

The event was held at The Bunker, a fantastic venue kindly sponsored by Lynda from DPG Foam Convertors Ltd, with the welcome drinks generously sponsored by Gina from George Stewart Design.

Liveryman Paul James said: “This was a fantastic evening and the first of many. Thank you to all those that attended and supported the Midlands Region. Next up is our Tug of War event on 28 June at Long Eaton Rugby Club. We have a few team spaces available so please shout if you would like to join in the fun!”

Debbie Johnson, Master of The Furniture Makers’ Company, said: “A special thank you to Gina Thomson, Paul James, and Lynda Corrigan for making this first event such a success. We’ve already received enthusiastic feedback from those who joined us, and we’re looking forward to building on this momentum. We hope this is the first of many successful events for the Midlands Region.”
