Where’s Tony?
Tony is really sorry that he hasn’t been at the club anywhere near so much as he would like, since starting a new job in April 2024.
He has been working on the implementation of a new software system for a national care home provider, that has seen him travelling across the country. For the next weeks, he is working in Scotland. (The picture above definitely is NOT Scotland….).
Tony hopes to be at the club far more regularly from September onwards, after the final phases of the rollout.
In the meantime, big thanks to Kev and everyone else for keeping sessions rolling!
