Events

We really hoped to be able to restart our Pint After Work events in July, but it now looks like we'll need to wait a little longer.  Provided there are no more blips along the road to freedom, we're now planning for our first PAW networking event to be on 7th September at Sadlers Distillery in Lye.  Look out for the invitation!

Our Breakfast Club events at Hagley Hall will restart on Friday 1st October 2021, legislation permitting - make a note in your diary and look out for the invitation.
