Business Buzz Oxfordshire

Important Venue Change – Banbury Buzz Tomorrow! 🎄 We have a last-minute change of venue for tomorrow’s Banbury Buzz. Instead of The White Horse, we’ll be meeting at Lock29 (in the theatre area). Parking is available in the Castle Quay car park, making it easy to pop in for some festive networking AND squeeze in a bit of last-minute Christmas shopping! 🎁 Don’t forget to wear your best (or most outrageous!) Christmas jumper or festive attire for a chance to win a prize. 🎅🎉 We’ll also be holding our charity reverse raffle in aid of Helen & Douglas House and SUDC UK. Please bring some cash—there are fabulous and not-so-fabulous prizes up for grabs, all for a great cause! See you tomorrow (10 am–12 noon) at Lock29 for a merry morning of connections, community and holiday cheer. Huge Thanks to Our Sponsors 🙏 Oxford IT Solutions, Exec Recruitment Solutions, and Love Management Accounts, your support of our business community keeps us going! #Networking #ChristmasCheer #Banbury 

🎉 Wrapping up the year with an unforgettable Banbury Buzz! Thank you to our Host, Lisa-Marie Mallier and our amazing sponsors: Exec Recruitment Solutions, Love Management Accounts, and Oxford IT Solutions. Our reverse raffle was a smash hit with most of the room battling for a Marks and Spencer Festive Colin the Caterpillar! 🐛 Congrats to Yemi Magara CEnvH for the win! Lisa snagged the sprouts, and there was quite the tussle for the golf balls, ultimately claimed by Richard Holmes. With just shy of 40 attendees, we raised £100 for SUDC UK and £100 for Helen & Douglas House through the raffle and the generous support of Lock29 who provided our last-minute venue and refreshments. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated prizes, and made this event a success! Here’s to more networking and fun in the New Year! 🎊✨ #BanburyBuzz #Networking #CommunitySpirit
