First Meeting (Thursday 5 April - Elvaston Village Hall)

Just got back from the first proper meeting of the group. It was fantastic and beyond my wildest dreams. Nearly twenty people turned up to listen, in the first instance, to my ill prepared presentation about the aims and aspirations of the group. I had never intended for this meeting to be a lecture/presentation more of a gathering of interested people; as it turned out it 'morphed' into me standing at the front drivelling (and hopefully making some sort of sense). Having been on Gareth John's course just last weekend, and local TBHer Tim assisting/prompting, really helped.

Got plenty of good feedback and twelve e-mail contacts on my 'expression-of-interest' sheet which will keep me occupied for the next few days.

A big "THANK YOU!" to all who attended and hopefully we can meet up againg soon.
