Picture the Scene: You are within the Atrium on the Upper floor of the Copthorne Hotel, at the Quayside overlooking the river Tyne. In front of you is the awesome view of the heart of Newcastle. Behind you you hear the numerous conversations of small groups of people, all are likeminded Ex Forces people here to get out of the event exactly what they need for their personal development, employment opportunities/business growth or even just the chance to remininisce. On a prompt from the host the volume from within the room begins to dissipate. The host stands on his chair and starts, 'Hello ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the Newcastle Liquid List meeting....' And so begins the branch meeting! If I was to attend what would I need?
