| However, there are other, less expensive ways of investing, sometimes it is just a matter of apportioning some time to something new. For example, how about taking advantage of GP&T's offer to visit or exhibit at China Glass at a reduced rate? If you want to do this, the deadline is this Friday: the details are here. Finally, it is also important to invest in a bit of R&R occasionally, and this coming Thursday sees an 'industry event' which will no doubt also be a significant networking opportunity. | ||||||||||||
