<div dir="ltr" class="">Hi Neil,<br class="">
I agree that there used to be that worry but I believe Employers think differently now. I believe the signals being sent to Employers would be:
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1. Here's a person who's got off their arse and decided to help others - the kind of person I want in the team</div>
<div class="">2. This person clearly knows their stuff and understands the subject - the kind of person I want in my team</div>
<div class="">3. This person is more visible to me than other potential candidates as I can see and hear them not just read a name on a CV piece of paper</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In terms of quality, I'm pretty sure that with the skills we have across the group the quality will be pretty good right out of the gate.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">And of course, having your name get greater exposure for an employable topic that can be searched and viewed across the interwebs for any future employer searching....some people pay for that kind of exposure.... :-)</div>

</span>It is very disheartening for the people that have made the effort to put<br class="">
on workshops when nobody turns up to them, we need to make sure that we<br class="">
are running events that people actually want and will turn up to.<br class="">
<br class="">
or we need to run more group events that don't need a specific person to<br class="">
put in all the effort, for example would people be interested in a<br class="">
monthly table top gaming night if we scheduled one?<br class="">
<br class="">
To help with getting the scheduling right, could people please indicate<br class="">
which evenings they would prefer events happened on, as i know a few<br class="">
people have clashes on thursdays.<br class="">
