Azure Greg NewsLetter v34

This is the 34th edition of my newsletter - As always, thank you for reading. New start to a new month, what goals do you have for this month?

Last time I wrote to you I mentioned playing in the Scottish Golf Pairs weekend, me and my friend finished 6th out of 52 pairs so that was pretty good going and throughly enjoyable.

I am delighted to also announce that the Call For Speakers Page is now oficially open for this years Festive Tech Calendar.

This year we are raising money for Beatson Cancer Charity, if you could be so kind to donate anything at all that would hugely appreciated!
