After eighteen meetings at Raffles Social Club, Mutley Plain, we have moved on. What started as a scramble to find another club back room after Raffles reorganised its upstairs function room into a games room ended with effective corporate sponsorship from one of Plymouth’s principal companies.
So, from April we have been monthly meeting in the office meeting room of Associated British Ports (ABP) Plymouth. It’s just inside the main entrance of Millbay Docks which is quite central to Plymouth. Seating fourteen people, it offers hot drink refreshments and 24/7 security who will open and close the venue on request. And free of charge. We are indebted to a recent client for representing us to his employer.
For the July meeting, we took advantage of the venue’s online capacity by inviting our adopted FNF Trustee Emlyn Jones. Emlyn (and his cat) joined us from his home (somewhere up North) to witness the welcome and introductions before briefing us on FNF developments.
Whilst we are committed to offline meetings, we will be inviting selected people to attend online.
This is a step up for FNF Plymouth, but it does come with risks which we must mitigate. To ensure we do not embarrass our sponsor in any way, we must operate to higher standards. This starts with better governance, including moving from group to branch status which will also improve our legitimacy and accountability.
