Guest Speaker

The Guest speaker on 23 April was meant to be our Member Nathan Blockley but unfortunately with Pat Emery being away this was not confirmed and Nathan was a no show.

When Pat is away we need his deputy to confirm that the Guest Speakers will definitely be coming, even if it is a reminder to them.
