Around 60 people attended an informal get-together at Casa Lola restaurant in Caterham yesterday evening, organised by Caterham BNI Business Referral Network. Local business owners, both members of BNI and non-members, had the opportunity to enjoy a chat over wine and Spanish tapas snacks, with a view to forging new business links in the local area.

BNI member, Clive Wilson, said: "I think tonight has been very successful and a lot of people had the chance to meet and make new contacts. Although many of the people here are members of Caterham BNI, about half the people in the room are newcomers who will find it especially helpful to mingle with so many local business people."

Caterham BNI meets every Tuesday morning between 6.45am 8.30am at the Surrey National golf course in Chaldon. For more information visit www.bni-caterham.co.uk
