New-look team and dates for Norwich FGB branch 

The Norwich FGB branch has a new-look team and a new set of dinner dates announced for the rest of the year.

Chris Brown is the new President and Ivor Boulton is continuing as Treasurer. Chris said: “Kit Brinkley is also part of the team helping with communications and other members will step forward at the events or give help where they can. The Network Norfolk team also help with our website, enews bulletin and Facebook and X/Twitter pages.”
 
A series of evening dinners have also been announced, starting in April, all to be held at the usual branch venue which is the City Suite, Mercure Hotel, Boundary Road, Norwich NR3 2BA, starting at 7pm for 7.30pm.
