Hi

Wow. Where did January go?

The TEAM17 Facebook Group is a really special place.

Please keep sharing your news, pictures and ideas. 

A special shout out to Dawn Booth for inspiring us all in January. 

Ian Pilbeam is going to be Live from Thailand each day in February. 

Bringing us Lessons From The Road, as he explores the region.

BrillBot is happy that more of you have joined him. Did you receive your message tonight?

TEAM17 at The Alnwick Story Fest

Fabulous February is round the corner. If you've been hiding under a rock, you may have missed that we're having a joint TEAM17 and Write That Book meet up in Alnwick, Northumberland on February 25th. 

I have lots of details to share and need to ask Christine for some pocket money to buy you a drink 😉. If you're coming please click the button below, so we know how many guests and who to send info to. 

Even if you've already clicked in previous emails, if you're coming, please do it again. Just so we can be 100% sure of the guest list.

Here are some of the amazing things happening in TEAM17 this week.

Menopause Cafe

Hosted by the wonderful Fiona Setch. 

This virtual space is a safe place to come and talk openly about your thoughts and feelings surrounding challenges with menopause.

The cafe is confidential to the people who attend, so is not recorded.

The next one will be on Wednesday 1st February at 7:00pm.

These sessions are held on the first Wednesday of each month.

We are reviewing the start time of our monthly online get-together DAY17 and would like your views. If you've not yet voted, then please do so, or you can reply to this email with your thoughts. 

We'll announce the result by the end of the week.

Keep Being Brilliant!
