Our first Networking event was held on the 29th of August and it went off without a hitch. We had 27 participants from numerous mining companies in the region, generous food platters were supplied by the Gunnedah Courthouse who also hosted us for the event.

Good times all round, thank you to everyone who came you all made it a great night. Hope to have more like it very soon.
