LOCAL NETWORKING GROUPS
Welcome to our Local Groups page.
During 2008 we will be looking to use the local chapter meeting to support the CPD of members, especially those undertaking the Certified Learning Practitioner accreditation. We are looking to offer support for those groups that would like it. It has been suggested that format should be based on the best practice of existing meetings. Below are details of current meetings or offers for hosting meetings.
- Thames Valley
Thames Valley had another successful meeting recently with 10 attendees. Chaired by Paul Himple we finshed off the session we'd had before on Icebreakers, and then discussed the Conference to establish why so few of us from our area could attend this year. The date/time of year was certainly a main problem.We went on to plan the next couple of get togethers... Our next meeting will be with a session from Ken Stewart in June. What is proving most useful is identifying and benefiting from the expertise in the group. Long may it last.
And by the way we voted firmly against being a chapter (we are longer than that!) and are renaming ourselves the TB Thames Valley Networking Group.
If you'd like to join us at the next session do please contact me and come along...We meet at 11am on Mondays and finish with lunch served at 1pm.Looking forward to hearing from anyone within travelling distance of Theale, Reading wanting a lively CPD/networking session.
Future meetings are 8 September, 20 October and 2 December. Meet at the Bull in Theale one mile from Junction 12 M4.
