THE Women in Business Group (WIBG) recently celebrated their 25th anniversary in style with a trip on a narrowboat.

On Thursday 21 September, the John Pinkerton II narrowboat carried 38 WIBG members as they set sail from Odiham, admiring the canal and surrounding area. Jazz band Excel Jazzmen accompanied the trip, with a speech from business coach Lynda Cant, and food was provided by Oliver's of Old Basing.

WIBG secretary Julia Hyland said: β€œIt was great to see so many members, including one member who had attended the very first event and former Presidents from throughout the 25 years, to raise a glass of prosecco and eat some delicious cake.”

WIBG is a woman only networking group for business women, meeting monthly either in the evening or at lunchtime with a guest speaker and an opportunity to network with women in a supportive environment to enable business to flourish. For further details of the group see www.wibg.org.uk
