HSBA

I HAVE MADE THE DECISION TO PUT MY KETTERING GROUP ON A TEMPORARY HOLD. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT A NOTABLE RECRUITMENT CAMPAIGN TAKES PLACE, AND I ANTICIPATE THIS HAPPENING IN TIME FOR THE NEW YEAR. IN THE MEANTIME, IF ANYONE HAS CONTACTS IN THIS AREA WHO THEY FEEL MAY BE INTERESTED IN NETWORKING WITH THE HSBA, PLEASE POINT THEM IN MY DIRECTION. …[Read more]

PLEASE NOTE THERE WILL BE NO KETTERING MEETING ON WEDNESDAY 19TH OCTOBER. APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE.

ALL OTHER GROUP MEETINGS CONTINUE UNAFFECTED.

I’m looking forward to speaking tomorrow at Kettering & will be offering a voucher for 75% off the cost of setting up parental controls on a PC to a random attendee, hope to see you there..
