I've been invited to a business networking lunch tomorrow..and I'm really nervous. I'll probably get all tongue tied..

I've been advised to wear a suit...so going to have to dust one down.

Any networking advice?

You will be fine, let us all know how it goes. Is it just women?

Hope it all goes OK. Take lots of business cards. I have been to women only networking events, but also Business Link seminars usually have time for networking afterwards. I usually manage to speak to a couple of people.

You'll be fine, but I've never been to a formal business club - they usually meet early in the morning and I can't do that.

No advice I'm afraid but I wanted to wish you the best of luck!
