On Thursday we had our New Years, bring and share party, where 20 members turned up and had a lovely evening together. Apart from lovely food and drink the company was great.

We were able to welcome 3 new members, Aileen, Tessa and Liz. We shall have our cup of coffee next week to explain the ins and outs of the scheme as well as spending some time together.

Organising a little get together is great fun and very rewarding, it could be something small, a few people coming round for a cuppa, something regular like Italian Conversation or a one off larger party. It is up to you. The more contact between the members the healthier the Skills Exchange.

Keep those Gems shining! Happy New Year to you all!
