A message and invitation from David King of the Four Kings Bar & Cafe - Dunstable
A big thank you to Annette White from the PC Help Centre for her talk
on
keeping our PC's healthy. It was a most interesting session and in
general it seems we should all be more careful in preventing damage to
our computer systems rather than waiting until a breakdown.
Annette has kindly put together 3-page set of guidelines summarising the
main conclusions from her talk and thank you to her for making this
available to all members of our group - see attached
Our next meeting will be Tuesday June 12th at 8am and our topic due to
popular demand will be ...
Small Business Marketing - How best to market your product or service!
Our speaker will be Frank Murphy who is a member of our group and a
partner in local Marketing Agency Murphy Varley Ltd. Despite a busy
schedule Frank has agreed to talk to us through what we could and should
be doing to better attract and retain customers in this difficult
economic climate.
A topic of interest to all of us I am certain!
Breakfast as usual is courtesy of the Four Kings and please confirm if
you are attending the meeting so I can cater accordingly
Also thank you for bringing guests and helping swell our numbers - please
continue to do so!
See you all on June 12th I hope
Best regards
David King

Is Priory House really haunted?
Is there really a lady on the stairs? Can a baby really be heard crying in the night?

The Anglia Paranormal Investigation Society (APIS) are holding a number of evening investigations to find out what... is really going on. Damien O’Dell author of, amongst others, 'Ghostly Bedfordshire-Re-Investigated' is leading the evening with other members of APIS.
