Best of Farnham

Great night  on Thursday 27 November at the Best of Farnham business evening which was held at Mahaan's Indian  Restaurant. The meal was delicious and the company, formed of  local business people, was interesting and convivial. 
I was invited by Martin Davidge-Stinger  to make sketches of the speaker  Penny Power . It  was rather nerve wracking, but buoyed by adrenalin and encouragement  from Martin, I had ago and produced two pencil sketches during the  the meal. Later we gave these drawings and an earlier painted sketch to Penny. 
The speaker  Penny Power @pennypower was very warm and  approachable . She had been successful with founding  Academy which was  a forerunner to Linkedin and Facebook.  Now she  is trying to get some interesting youth apprenticeship initiatives  formed and had been discussing her ideas with Lord Young earlier in the House. 
I was impressed by her positive energy and her practical 'win win' common sense ideas which we really need to implement and support.
