President's Prattling ...
Because of our experience of handling online speakers we helped our Southern Scotland eClub friends and circulated the event to our connections. This resulted in a remarkable attendance ... which was a new experience for us too!!
This week a few of us met up at a pub with our member from Spain, Brian. A pleasant face to face bevvy or two with a pub lunch and pleasant chatter.
Club Happenings ...
Our joint meeting with Southern Scotland eClub was a very succesful and interesting. It is the first time we have exceed 25 people .. in fact we had 47 registrations in 18 different clubs [both eClubs and land-based], 13 districts across 9 countries and 8 time zones. WOW to this as on the night we still had 40 actually attend form around the globe.
We had
guests from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Switzerland, Finland, USA and we had a video greeting from the President of the eClub of Silicon Valley, California and also a message from our member Vivian read out by Keith Tovey.
Amazing and another "first" story to add to our repetoire of credibility.
