Hello ladies,
I just wanted to let you know I am in the process of reviving the local group meetings. The success of a local group usually depends on one person being an enthusiastic leader, organising a get-together once in a while, and answering the queries of the ladies near to you wishing to attend your meetings.
Many of the once enthusiastic leaders have definitely disappeared of the face of the Earth and left many of you in limbo about who is your leader, IF there is a leader, and whether your local group still meets.
Of course, I should add there is a handful of excellent Group Leader who reply to all their enquiries and do manage successful get-togethers!
I am in the process of contacting ALL the Group Leaders I have listed, asking them to verify they are happy being a Group Leader and that they have no issues receiving messages on here and emails.
A couple of people have got back to me saying they do not want to be the Group Leader anymore. Which is absolutely fine! But it would have been better if this information had been passed onto you lot sooner so replacements can be found and the group can still meet.
Sorry this is a very long post, but I just want you to know that by Christmas I am hoping all groups will have a willing Leader, or have been appointed a new Leader. So that in the New Year everyone’s enquiries are answered swiftly and that many more get-togethers can happen all over the country. I will keep an eye on arrangements sorted on the boards and promote meetings with many Tweets and Facebook updates so as many ladies hear the message as possible.
