First Friday Malton Update

It’s that time of the month for the reminder for the next Malton Networking meeting. Last month I gave a talk about 1st Aid Regulations and if you would like to know more or book onto a first aid course please feel free to get in touch. Next month we haven’t got anyone down for a talk so on a first come first serve basis, whoever contacts me first can do a slot. However anyone who has done a talk in the last 6 months will be excluded unless we don’t get anyone else.

The next networking event will be held again at The Old Lodge, Old Maltongate, Malton, YO17 7EG on Friday 7th May 2010 between 12 noon – 2pm. As before it will be a chance for everyone to get to know each other and generally network. Remember your business cards!! Also this month we are going to be upstairs in the board room.
The only cost for this meeting will be £10 per person and I will collect the money on arrival, this is a contribution for the rent of the room and the food. Please let me know if you are coming and bringing other people, so that I can arrange numbers for the tea, coffee and food.

If you have any questions please feel free to call me on 01653 692292 or if you would like to come simply reply to this email before Thursday 6th May 2010, so that I can arrange numbers with The Old Lodge. If you know of anyone else who might be interested please feel free to ask them, but do let me know for numbers.
