When the chips are down you have to take risks to succeed in business, which is why members of Lincoln Business Club will be hitting the casino tables for their Christmas party this week.

The club's annual festive get-together has a casino theme this year and members and guests will be hoping to win the jackpot by trying their hand at blackjack and roulette.

The casino-style games will be provided by Hykeham Lions and £2 from each ticket sold will go to support their nominated charity.

The party takes place at Lincoln City FC at Sincil Bank and follows the club's monthly meeting which begins at 11.30am on Friday 10th December.

There will also be a buffet lunch and plenty of opportunities to network with other business people from the Lincoln area.

Money raised throughout the year by the Lincoln Business Club goes to charity and club chairman Nicki Gray will be presenting cheques on the day to the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance and Strut in the Community.

"Our Christmas party is always lots of fun and a great opportunity to network and meet other people in business," said Nicki.

"You don't have to be a member to come along and we are always keen to welcome new people to Lincoln Business Club so why not invite your friends and colleagues to join the party?"

Tickets for the Lincoln Business Club Christmas Party and December meeting cost £15.
