Networking & Projects Meeting

Thu, Jan 19th 2017 at 5:30 pm -

This friendly informal group which includes our Corporate Members meet for networking and to discuss upcoming projects


Meeting Overview

We took the opportunity to review where we are after our first six months of early evening meetings and agreed that the timing and format continues to work well for everyone.  We agreed to continue with networking from 5.30pm but will now start the formal proceedings at 6pm ending promptly at 7pm.   

We went through our list of project ideas and agreed which to focus on over the next few months and which might be deferred until later in the year.  A revised project list will be issued for our meeting in March.

New members to this group are welcome and visitors are invited to just come along to see what we do!   We agreed that it would be good to attract more corporate members, the team approach to projects has been particularly successful - we enjoyed meeting the wider Band Hatton Button Team at their charity quiz and the event certainly benefitted from the efficient marketing campaign led by Sarah Jordan.  (See picture above!)
