Forty Five of Liverpool's business women attending a networking lunch at the Living Room, Victoria Street, last week.

A drink on arrival and a set lunch menu allowed the ladies who attended to network with likeminded people from the Liverpool business community.

A relaxed atmosphere, and a fabulous group of ladies ensured that those who attended enjoyed a lovely lunch - and made a few more contacts as well!

Hollyoaks cast members took over Chester's Blackhouse Grill to raise money for the Alder Hey Imagine Appeal last night. Two teams of Hollyoaks' most popular characters worked as waitresses, bar tenders and chefs in a toughly fought out competition to see which side could encourage their diners to spend the most money. The Hollyoaks 'War of the Waiters' event, hosted by Mark Jones, took place at the stylish Blackhouse Grill Restaurant and Bar in Newgate Street, Chester. Guests booked tables on a first come first served basis, there was no ticket price, no raffle and no auction, but half of the diners total spend was donated to charity. Working alongside the Blackhouse Grill's highly trained staff the 'White Team' and the 'Black Team' ran their designated sections and encouraged the diners to eat and drink with 50% of the total bill going to a very worthwhile cause.
