...At our Christmas party that is. Members from Nottinghamshire Networks joined up for our Christmas party which was held at the Bowling Alley in Nottingham. for some it was the first time they has met members for other Networks as members from the newly formed Ashfield Network were in attendence.

If you would like to do any events as a county let Justin know and we cna look to arrnage them.
