Where did 2011 go?!  Blink and you will have missed it! So as we contemplate where the time went, a short note to you all regarding dates for your diary for next year. Get 'em in the diary now before someone else steals your time!

Ok, first up is our next tweetup on Thursday the 26th January. Our first event of the year and a great chance to touch base with your fellow ConcnectingHR members. It is also a great way to get to know the community so if you are new to the community or if you are an existing member and would like to bring one of your colleagues along then please do. Details and to register your attendance are here.

Our next event is another tweetup on Thursday the 26th April although this will also be our first themed event of the year as we launch our Mentoring program. We will be sending out more details and opening up registration in January including a call for those who are looking for a mentor so look out for that. 

May 16th sees our our fourth Unconference taking place at the Spring in Vauxhall. We are still tinkering with the agenda and, in true unconference form you are invited to shape that agenda as we get close to the date.  See here for more details and to grab yourself an earlybird discount!

Our third tweetup will take place on Thursday the 27th September at which time we will be almost three parts through the year, which means we might have made our minds up about the Euro by then!  Whatever the year brings it will surely be a welcome time to debate progress over a drink or two so be sure to pop it in your diary.

And finally, to wrap the year, however it turns out, be sure to join us for some festive cheer at the informal Christmas tweetup on Thursday the 13th December. Details for that event will be released nearer the time but make sure you pencil it in now!

That's all folks! Be sure to keep an eye out as we are planning other events and will be announcing them as the year unfolds.

In the meantime all that remains is for me to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
