Midlands Region hosts second successful mixer event

Our Midlands Region gathered for its second networking mixer last month, bringing together professionals from across the local furniture and design industries for an evening of ten-pin bowling and community building.

The event, held on 30 October, saw 36 attendees take to the lanes for two lively games of ten-pin bowling at Tenpin Lenton Lane, Nottingham.

Representatives joined from DPG Foam Convertors, One Call Furniture, George Stewart Design, Webs Training, Artistic & Iain James Furniture, The Long Eaton Guild, Design Conformity, and Elite Spray Tech. Together, they filled nearly a third of the bowling alley, making for an energetic and social evening.

Competition was close, but a few standout bowlers took home the honours:

Highest Male Score: Russell (George Stewart Design) – 139.5

Highest Female Score: Michelle (George Stewart Design) – 109

 Lowest Male Score: Barry (George Stewart Design) – 44

Lowest Female Score: Sarah (DPG Foam Convertors) – 46

In addition to the friendly competition, the evening also raised funds for the Furniture Makers’ charity.

Gina Thomson, chairman of the Midlands Region Committee, said: “It was fantastic to see so many familiar and new faces coming together for a relaxed evening of networking and laughter. Events like these really help strengthen our Midlands community.”
