APL Combined Cluster with Londonstone and SGLD
The next APL Cluster for the North London Group is a Combined cluster with Londonstone and SGLD.
Date :- 12th November 2025
Venue :- Unit A7, Bounds Green Industrial Estate, Bounds Green Rd, London N11 2UD
Meet from 6.30, start time 7pm
The Showroom has recently undergone a re vamp with many new products and suppliers. So there will be a lot to see.
Jack Cocker (London Stone) has arranged some other speakers for the night and there will be plenty of time for networking and looking at the range of products on offer, asking any questions or specifications.
This should be a really interesting evening.
Refreshments will be provided.
Bookings should be made through myself at [email protected] please respond by 5th November, so we can get a gauge on numbers.
Also please state if you have any allergens.
