DoEvents - January 2007
Welcome to the start of 2007, which promises to be a TOP Year!! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, stuffed yourself silly and drunk far too much! Were starting of this year with a fantastic selection of Meetings, something for everyone to take part in. VBUG’s been busy putting together a series of regional Seminars PLUS, we are running the very successful monthly On-Line meetings too. These meetings are an EXCELLENT way of networking, so come along and enjoy the social (as much as the educational) side of these events! With very best regards
