Rotary Business Networking Lunch
Provides a midday, hosted connection format centred on practical referrals and community collaboration for people who cannot attend early or evening events.
What could this idea change?
A broader group can exchange trusted help and identify business-community collaborations in a time-contained setting.
A simple way to start
- Choose a practical theme and map a balanced table mix. Who could lead it: Lunch convenor
- Invite through local networks with clear timing and access details. Who could lead it: Communications lead
- Capture one offer and one ask from willing attendees before seating. Who could lead it: Registration lead
- Run hosted table conversations and a ten-minute community opportunity brief. Who could lead it: Table hosts
- Send mutually accepted referrals and close event data. Who could lead it: Follow-up lead
What should we look for?
- Attendance across intended work patterns and sectors.
Before we say yes
- Does it fit a real local need?
- Can people take part safely and fairly?
- Are the facts, permissions and Rotary branding right?
- Who will lead it, and when will we review it?
