It\u2019s a chance to chat through your ideas or issues with other trustees or committee members from VANEL or from other local non-profits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our next \u201cTea and Trustees\u201d is FRIDAY 24<sup>th<\/sup> APRIL.<\/strong> Drop in any time between 9.30am and 11.30am to the Minster caf\u00e9. No need to book &amp; no fee, but telling me you\u2019re coming is polite (and helpful), and you can buy a drink from the caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>More information via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanel.org.uk\/teaandtrustees\">www.vanel.org.uk\/teaandtrustees<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Governance Forum<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you can\u2019t get to \u201cTea and Trustees\u201d, we are now launching an online equivalent \u2013 <strong>our web based Governance Forum<\/strong>.

But the more the merrier, so if you\u2019d like to login and get discussing then just drop me an email (or phone 01472 361043) and I\u2019ll register you with an account to login to the system (assuming you are connected with an organisation in VANEL membership).<\/p>\n<p>( By the way \u2013 please tell all your trustees or committee members about these offers \u2013 don\u2019t keep it to yourself! )<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to seeing you or your board members on Friday or \u2018meeting\u2019 you online in the new Forum.<\/p>\n<p>Karl Elliott<br \/>\nDevelopment Manager<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:karl@vanel.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\">karl@vanel.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-7239\" data-postid=\"7239\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-7239 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our next &#8220;Tea and Trustees&#8221; drop-in is this Friday (24th April) all morning at Grimsby Minster cafe.
