It might have been dull outside but the place was positively overflowing, resulting in 24 Members being present and a repeat visitor Mike Feuer whose application to join was accepted by the committee meeting that followed the main meeting – congratulations Mike.

Finally, after several weeks, we were confronted with grey skies and drizzle.  Despite this and the holiday season there were 19 Members present and 4 visitors. The pre-meeting networking was very much an exercise in getting to know our visitors in readiness for the meeting.

Multitasking abounded, Scott Griffiths not only dealt with his meeting secretary’s obligations but also delivered the Ed Slot.  I, as Chairman, also stood in for David Plumley as Education and Development Officer in introducing both the Ed Slot and the 10 minute Presentation.

The first meeting of the year in which we realised the football wasn’t coming home.  This had to be counter balanced with my coming home from holiday and also the realisation, jumping ahead to the 60 Second Round and at my suggestion, that not only were we all “networking” but we were all effectively “working overtime”.

Guest Chairman and Guest blog author for our weekly meeting review

Great turnout- 22 Members and 2 visitors present, well done Stuart Smallcombe on being in the chairmain, a slightly nervous start soon vanished once you found your Mojo.
