Inspired by the turn out at the recent open meetings we are pleased to invite you to our next online Open Meeting.
Though all are welcome, this meeting will give precedence to our friends in Australia and the Asia Pacific so that they have a platform for sharing and exchange before we open up the space to continue the conversation.
The meeting will be hosted by Hugh Tollemache and Elizabeth Roberts.
We very much look forward to seeing you again soon.
If you have any queries or for more information contact friendsofbeshara@gmail.com
