Wow, we have been a busy chamber in April!

Jo and I attended President's and Deputies Day in Southampton, I got the chance to present to National council how great our community programme is this year. We had a brilliant time visiting our twins in Aberdeen for the JCI Scottish National Conference. 7 members and 2 senators headed North for a food and drink themed weekend. On behalf of JCI Barnsley, thank you JCI Aberdeen!!

We've connected with our past and held our past presidents dinner. We had a social at the White Bear and the Tour De Yorkshire. April's monthly training session was on Neuro-linguistic programming and was really interesting.

In May we have a great opportunity, we are offering a month's free trial of membership!! If you are interested in this offer, please sign up or contact us at membership@jcibarnsley.org.uk

We still have some events you can attend.......

• The ashes challenge in Rotherham
• Open Mic training session

In June our community programme is jammed packed as we support our charity of the year BIADS. BIADS will be celebrating their 5^th Birthday in June, so on Sunday 7^th we will be holding the Great BIADS Bake off with a Birthday cake theme and walking with them on Sunday 14^th for their memorial walk.

Outside of Barnsley, we have the first JCI Yorkshire regional competition coming up on 26^th May in Sheffield, and the early bird rate for the JCI UK Leap academy taking place in August closes on the 31^st May.
