As many of you know, we have a vibrant Club community that has been running in various countries for a while now.

The London Club for England meets around three times a month, whilst our other constituencies meet once every six weeks.  

With bases in Edinburgh, Dublin and Vienna, we have seen our network gradually expanding throughout Europe and we are now looking to launch further expansion through 2013.

The first part of that expansion is the opening of our new Financial Services Club, Poland,  at the British Embassy in Warsaw on 17th April, 2013.

The meeting will start at 18:00 and will be addressed by Professor Grzegorz Kołodko, the former Deputy Prime Minister of Poland and chaired by Mieczysław Groszek , Ph.D., Vice
President of the
Polish Bank Association and representative of the Association at the Executive Committee of the European Banking Federation 

Professor Kołodko will discuss the future of Europe and the Euro from the perspective of an economist and linchpin in reforming Poland from the breakup of the Communist era through to membership of the European Union.

This meeting will be followed by our second meeting where Professor Jakub Górka of Warsaw University and David Birch, Digital Money Guru at Consult Hyperion will discuss the future of money in early June.

If you would like to attend either meeting, please RSVP
