What an exciting month we have in store for you all!!!

We have changed the layout a little bit in this month’s newsletter. All VBUG events are listed first followed by third party events in the second section. This is to help to save on confusion when you register for the events. Also due to the number of events increasing we have also cut down on the amount of information given to each event. So for full details i.e. venue, times, directions, costs and how to register please follow the links.

Happy Valentines!!!!
