Then after this we eat together and discuss the ideas and mingle, meet new people and generally have a good time.
Everyone votes for the idea they like best and the winner gets all the money taken on the door to kickstart their project. The people behind the project will then be asked to update us on their progress at future soup meetings as they bring their idea to life.
Many people have asked ‘what if the winner blows their money on drink or drugs or flash cars?’ My answer is.. Settle is a small place so we will all know if someone misuses their winnings. I think this is very unlikely to happen .. but if it does they will never get their project off the ground and not be trusted again!
