Andy evoked a range of emotions with his Winter-themed Table Topics (David Hasselhoff...hmm), while David made it topical and technological with his "A Toast to Zoom". And we all know more about "Toast Rack" - here's to building a helpful resource library together.

Hope you can join us on 23 June for a National Volunteer Week-themed meeting. If you're a guest, just message your details to get the Zoom link. Look forward to meeting you 😀
