The first signs of summer are upon us, so I feel pleased that we are getting a little closer to lighter nights and the warmer weather.   I would like to thank 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 23 July 2009 in your diaries now.  We look forward to seeing you all with your ideas.  Alternatively, if you would like to host an event or need more information, please contact me.

 

The group’s website continues to be popular with our members who are able to access it.  It has photographs of the previous events and has all the information of the current programme.  For confidentiality reasons the telephone numbers have been removed from the programme but if you are interested in an event and have lost your programme, please contact me for more information.  The address is www.fulcrumsocialgroup.co.uk  . There is also a Stop Press box on the first page where Richard posts any late meeting announcements, and an associated email group you can join for late postings to be sent direct to you.
