ViB Christmas dinner

As I have been now since more than one year a member of our local female entrepreneur's association "Vrouw in Bedrijf" (ViB, english: Woman in her Company), I also was happy to change the business suit with a little glam and dress up nicely for the christmas dinner. I choose to wear my long black dress that I bought from Monsoon in London about 10 years ago. We were about 30 women all in their prettiest outfits. And as you can see from the picture below we had quite some fun together.

Interestingly was that just above on the floor above another x-mas party took place with only men (engineers from a building company), also cutely dressed in their suits and ties. As some of us women knew some of the guys we had some funny encounters occasionally.

The restaurant, called 't Stokpaardje was located in Alkmaar's Vrouwenstraat. A very hidden location and if not for this evening I would never have known about its existence. It was a nice old buiding offering a very cosy surrounding. We got 4 dishes and they were just marvelous presented and absolutely tasty. We got seated according to the letters of our first names and had to change for the main course so that we could network also with some of the other women in the restaurant. All in all a perfectly organized evening.
