Tonight we saw journeys begin and journeys end.

We enjoyed Jeanette's inspiring and well-structured Icebreaker, "3 Things That Have Made Me Who I am". It's always exciting to hear from new members for the first time.

Norbert recently completed his "Visionary Communication" Pathway and took us through the 500 days of 10 projects - in all of 12 minutes!

Finally, it was time to say goodbye to Matthew and Debs, who are both returning to live in the UK. You've both made great contributions to the club and we'll miss you - look forward to having a drink with you on Friday :)
