Everyone who has booked, all 40 of you, thank you for your quick responsive replys.

For those that couldn't book because of the venue size, I apologise but I had to cap it.  Please email me if you are one of these poeple and if it changes or for future meetings I will ensure you are kept up to date clare@skybusinessservices.co.uk.

However I am working to resolve this - for future meeting.

I believe an important part of the meeting is to meet other bookkeepers and network as well as learn. We are working on the format.

Part of the meeting with be an information gathering excercise. This is a meeting run by members for members and so we would like to know what you would like. Bearing in mind all of the people cannot be pleased all the time but numbers can influence.

FUTURE Meetings - frequency? Once a month, once every two months?
Timing I booked it on the third Tuesday as it was a good for me.
TOPICS _ I have a number of external people that can give a talk, but if you have a passion or expertise great.  I have a few suggestions.
FUN Things - to get people chatting to each other
Any other contributions?

I am really looking foward to the meeting and meeting you all. I am also looking forward to the London meeting on Wednesday with some good presentations.

Have a good weekend all and see you soon.

Hi Clare,

I am also looking forward to the first Berkshire branch meeting! Unfortunately I can't make the London meeting tomorrow which is a real shame as the 'how to deal with carrier bag jobs' topic looks very interesting. I wonder if you could persuade Dinah to present this at a future Berkshire meet?

Hi Helen,

That was my plan to roll out anything that comes from the London Meeting. I will certainly ask. I was thinking and opinions are welcome, that if we have monthly meeting next month in April to have a talk on preparing End of Year accounts, maybe good timing.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Regards
Clare

Hi
I notice from the forum (and I am not very good at checking this!) that you have a branch meeting on 15 May.  I would like to come along if possible and want to know if I have to book through the website or can I just turn up on the day and pay my £5?  I am trying to pluck up the courage to sit my Level II manual.  I need to do it soon! 

I think I met Trippy last year at the Reading Seminar.

Hi Carolyn, It would be great to see you at the meetings. There is a real mixture of people and levels and it is great to get support from other ICB members. I am sure they will encourage you to do your level II.

The £5 is for the room hire and drinks at the start and at the end. At first meeting where it was £0 but £4 on door 45 people booked but only 35 turned up. As so many people booked and didn't turn up I was out of pocket for the teas and coffees. It is so much better if this is booked on line. Having said that if people turned up without booking that is fine I will take ask for the cash on the dorr.

I know £5 is more than other meetings but they are small and run from pubs. We could not have the level of talks and the numbers in a pub (I did try and book a pub for 30 people and they wanted even more money!).

So the long and the short of it, It would be better to book on line, it helps me manage numbers, seating, drinks but if the occassional one turns up on the day that is ok.

It would  be lovely to meet you again. Please email me if you have any questions clare@skybusinessservices.co.uk
