Original message:

I am interested in meeting up with trainers/Learning and Development Managers who, like me wish to improve their skills.

My thoughts are to informally; maybe once every 6-8 weeks meet to discuss L&D good practice, current challenges, issues or views. This would be an informal learning group and perhaps we can grab a drink and/or a meal as this will probably be one evening after work? I currently work in Stanmore, North London and live in St Neots, Cambridgeshire - so a group at one of these locations would be ideal.

If you are, like me, looking to share knowledge and expertise and learn from the experience - contact me now. I am happy to organise the venue and timings and keep contact details private until we agree how to proceed at the first meeting. I envisage a group of 4 - 6 people to make this workable.
