I applaud Heather Winter’s initiative in setting up a new networking group, but was very sorry to hear she has felt unable to find an existing group to meet her needs – Heather firms up networking idea (Keighley News, February 6).

In fact, there are quite a few good daytime networking groups serving the Keighley and Skipton area, some of them specially geared up for women and for mums.

My particular favourite is Ladies 4 Networking. The Airedale & Wharfedale branch meets every month at Omar Khan’s restaurant in Skipton, at the very sensible time of 11am so that it runs over the lunch break.

There is no membership, just £10 to attend, which includes a full lunch and coffee. It’s a very friendly, relaxed group, and I know Heather would be made most welcome.

The next Skipton meeting is on Tuesday. Details and meeting dates are on ladies4net working.com, on Facebook and on Linkedin.
