Sorry all, I'm going to have to bow out. Man flu has got the better of me.

For those unable to make it, a quick recap of some of the things discussed

February: Busy one - intro from all attending and lots of discussion around the internet, social sites, portals etc.

March: This became a telecoms month. Discussions at various levels from PABX stuff through to the setting up of a mobile phone company.

April: Bit of car/internet stuff from me and lots of discussion about maser-spyder's experiences of importing from China and trading in UK and Europe. Lots of enthusiasm and discussion around the demand for LittleGreenFairy's cakes and how to meet it and build a brand around it.

That's a very potted history of some of the discussions and hopefully shows the diversity of what gets talked about.

Personally, I've found it all fascinating, even when a lot of it is totally out of my area of knowledge, experience or expertise!

I've been watching this thread with interest, but not been able to make the dates yet. I'm changing jobs soon, so should have a bit more free time, will aim to make the next one. I'm in the retail sector, concentrating on finding sites along with project managing construction and store fit-outs.

Apologies if I waffled on a bit, I've had a couple of months away from the business to clear my head and work out where we're going to take it next. The down-side of this is I'm now full of enthusiasm again, and have a tendency to bore people silly with all my plans. smile
