SCUBA-DIVING AND SEALIONS

It’s not every day you go to a networking event, only to discover yourself talking to a scuba-diver desperate to swim with sealions.

Having let slip that ICG PR work for Blackpool Zoo, I found myself agreeing to put in a good word…

I was on my first visit to a meeting of the Preston Exchange Network – a female business networking group that meets about six times a year.

PEN was celebrating its fifteenth anniversary so there was bucks fizz at the Holiday Inn followed by lunch and a talk from Stewart Heaton of Rock FM.

He chatted about a new multi-media project called Your Future aimed at helping young people in schools throughout Lancashire unlock their true potential. It was challenging and inspiring!

For just a couple of hours out of my day, it was good to meet some new people at PEN and chat about everything from sealions to the credit crunch.

The next meeting is a pre-Christmas dinner at Nigel Smith’s restaurant at Ribby Hall…it’s already in the diary!
