Lexica Communications
Business Development & MarketingStammtisch in North East England
In the summer of 2009, Lexica’s Manuela Wendler and a few like minded people met in a local beer garden to launch the North East Stammtisch. The idea of the ‘regulars’ table’ was to bring people together who had an interest in international topics, in particular German speaking countries. From day one, the Stammtisch attracted a mix of people from different countries and backgrounds.
One year later, we have now a much bigger group of ‘regulars’ that come to our networking events, generally held either at the Hilton in Gateshead or the Mansion House in Newcastle. The Stammtisch meets every six to eight weeks and the local venues also offer German food and drink, which seems to be a key motivation of all our guests to come along.
The next Stammtisch on Monday, 26 July 2010 will be a summer BBQ at the Mansion House in Jesmond. The cost is £15 per head and will include typical food such as sausages (Bratwurst), burgers (Bulletten) and kebabs.
Lexica Communications will also soon launch a Business Stammtisch for those interested in doing business with Germany. For further information, contact info@lexica-communications.com.
