Suggest Meeting Topics
We are always looking for new presentation ideas and presenters. If you have any ideas please raise them at a meeting, approach an executive member or send us an email.
Suggesting an idea doesn't mean that you have to present it, though that is not unusual. Even suggesting a guest who could present a topic is great. This is your club, any and all input is appreciated.
