Hi Will, Thanks for the info. Just wanted to reiterate that men are welcome at the events, if they don't have a lady they want to bring with them, they could always let us know and they could come as one of the organisers guests. We try and be inclusive for everyone, but as you said it's a male dominated sector, we feel that women also need support for that too. We want to be empowering, but are by no means trying to appear discriminatory. Apologies if that is how it comes across. We do try and stress men are welcome at any of our events. For our previous event last week, we had a good number of men turn up, everyone seem to enjoy themselves. I'll make sure I don't make any errors in the posts again. Sorry.
