Guest Speaker

The Guest speaker on 9 April was meant to be Past Deputy Commissioner of Police & MP Bob Kucera but unfortunately Bob was a no show.

So Prospective member Dave Franklyn stepped up and gave us a summary of his Career as a Fund Manager of a Private Investment Fund specialising in Resources. He also discussed their philosophies which was very interesting.

Our Member Ant Ulijn also stepped up and told us all about his 7 day AI (Artificial Intelligence) Conference that he attended in Thailand and how he will be adding "AI Lessons" as another arm to his Business.
