It’s fantastic to see the meetings run so well and give so much pleasure to the attendees. We started in the time honoured manner of open networking prior to sitting down to a fantastic Dukes breakfast. The meeting was opened by the Chair, then the meeting started in earnest with a superbly enjoyable presentation from Keith Rawlings talking about the genius of ancient Roman construction techniques with a particular emphasis on the Amphitheatre in Rome itself. Keith then fielded questions from the members before we moved onto giving our 1 minute presentations. Steve Baker then gave an educational talk on using 6 steps to improve business productivity. We then gave our referrals & testimonials prior to covering any other business with the main point of discussion being the fast approaching Christmas knees up brilliantly co-ordinated by Steve Leverton. The meeting was then closed allowing members to either chat further or make their way back to their offices or onto appointments.
