BOLTON and Bury Junior Chamber are holding a series of free open evenings to promote the virtues of joining a training and self-development organisation.

A meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 22 at the Elizabethan Suite at Bury Town Hall.

The event will start at 7.30pm and refreshments will be available.

The current president, Peter Green, commented: "As the pressure on today's workforce to become multi-skilled increases, the opportunities available to obtain the relevant skills diminish, as cost implications come into play.

"We are in the enviable position of being part of a national organisation, run by members for the benefit of the members, to help address th ose needs in a more practical and cost-effective way."

To book your place for next Wednesday, contact Peter on 01204 451809 or fax him on 01204 522452.
