Coming up this month – news from the Programme Team Leader …
On 2nd September we are to learn exactly what it means having a unique support in our county with Leicestershire & Rutland Blood Bikes - we assume nothing to do with vampires on wheels!
9th September offers a choice - either joining the Loughborough Impact Group on a visit to see "Evita" at the Town Hall - choose your own seat by booking direct but meet up in the bar OR Simply Social at Longcliffe for dinner at 7.30pm.
On 16th September Martin has laid on something we have never had the chance to do before - play golf at Longcliffe. Obviously not by hitting a ball for a long distance and then trying to find it. We will restrict our activities to being near the club house.
On 23rd September, Andy has given us another opportunity - to see one of our favourite charities in action. We get the chance to see inside "Aquabox" in Cromford with a guided tour. Afterwards there will be the opportunity for a bite to eat and perhaps a little bit of a touristic look at one of the original sites of the industrial revolution.
For 30th September, Graham has procured a speaker for us on The Circular Economy - which is really about the future of recycling.
OCTOBER
We begin next month with another look at the future: on 7th October we will learn about the future of the hydrogen economy from one of the leading energy companies in the area, Intelligent Energy
On 14th October Michael is hoping to tell us about Coats4Kids in preparation for the fundraising quiz on 24th October
On 21st October, Jack Straw (no not the old MP) will tell us about the plans for the development of the Great Central Railway now that the link bridge is a reality.
Over the last few years, we have enjoyed some enjoyable evenings at the Eastern Spice restaurant - not counting when Neil went to the wrong restaurant or when the police refused access to our cars at the end! On 28th October, John Graham will be inviting you and friends to another such occasion.
