Thank you to everyone who attended the recent planning meeting, and also a big thank you to all those who hosted an event on the last programme.
The planning meeting is always a very important date on the quarterly programme as the group is member driven. Without members suggesting and hosting the events, the group would not be a success so please put the 18 October in your diaries now. We look forward to seeing you all with your ideas and, of course, the customary drink in the pub after.
If you would like to host an event or need more information, please contact Stephanie.
Keep an eye on the Stop Press box on the first page where Richard posts any late meeting announcements.
Please let your host know that you are attending an event and, in particular, please book by the specified dates as late comers may be disappointed. Events may be cancelled if you don't book in time.
