Opportunity
to meet Lo-Q during the Master Investor Show
|
Lo-Q
decided not to exhibit at the show but we have hired a meeting
room in the Hilton Hotel next door, where we have organised
a light lunch.
If you would like to meet Jeff McManus, our chairman and Leonard
Sim, creator of the system, between 11.00 and 2.00 then please
come along. Please feel free to bring any other persons that
might be interested in discussing Lo-Q or just to enjoy some
refreshments.
To help us with numbers, it would be useful to give us a quick
email response if you are likely to come. |
