Welcome to April's edition of LiveWire! Are you a lady who golfs or would you like to be? Why should it only be the men who have a Friday afternoon off for "Networking!" I am keen to establish the Robert James Golf Society (ladies only) and would love to hear from any of you who would be interested in playing. Nothing too serious, just a bit of fun! As ever we would love to hear from you and if there are any topics you would like to see featured in future editions of LiveWire, please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards Lesley Stalker
