As one of the organisers of GETS a big thank you for your input throughout the two days. We hope you felt it was worthwhile and the learning continues. Feedback has been very encouraging and for those attending the Institute I consider Cardiff to have been one of the best if not the best I have attended. The atmosphere and content were both very good.

Maxine and I attended a conference recently and after the Open Forum session were accosted by an Incoming President. RTN “When is this President’s Day? I’m a very busy person and want to know about these things? Me. On the Saturday of the RIBI Assembly. You will have been told about this probably by your DGE at Pre PETS. RTN What’s PETS? Me. President Elect’s Training Seminar. RTN: Nobody has told me anything about PETS? Also in the group an Assistant Governor. AG It tells you in the back of the District Diary. RTN Nobody told me to look thee I’m a very busy person. AG—opens diary and shows RTN. RTN: Well how am I meant to know these things I’ve been Club Secretary for five years and nobody has told me to look there.” I walk away murmuring to Maxine and myself.
