days, 4 events. Maybe that was a bit of a stretch!
This week, on top of some very exciting things going on behind the scenes, I managed to get along to 4 events.
Wednesday morning kicked things off with HC Business Connect at HEX at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park Ltd. This was my first Harrison College event (beyond winning the golf day earlier this year...) and a real insight into the different ways businesses can help young people flourish and get the same opportunities as everybody else.
Fast forward to Wednesday evening and the HSR Law Solicitors padel tournament at Padel Master. 2 hours, no breaks. The standard of play was something else - I was run ragged and my body was feeling it when I woke up yesterday.
Thursday brought the SixConsult evening at Bawtry Hall. A really relaxed one - good food, good drink and good conversation. I managed to speak to a lot more people this time round.
Which brings us to today, the Plant-Fit / JCB event over at Lake Y featuring the new JCB 3CX. I was not expecting to be driving a JCB around the lake, but it was definitely fun! Uncharacteristically I missed out on the padel tournament this time.
A big thank you to everyone who organised and hosted - it’s been a brilliant few days.
Now I’m about to set off for a very much needed family weekend away.
