Events for 2010

MORE BUDGET RESTRAINTS?

In this difficult current financial climate we are very aware that cuts have to be made but clients may rest assured that we are looking at this on their behalf when preparing the costs for an event.  

We still believe quite firmly that a good corporate event is the most effective way of getting new business as well as retaining those valued clients. We think it more effective than advertising, but we would wouldn't we? 

 

HORSE RACING -2010

We offer the best facilities at all courses in the UK, including Royal Ascot which of course has, thank goodness returned to Berkshire and this is reflected already in advanced sales Aintree the home of The Grand National as well as The Derby at Epsom and of course Glorious Goodwood ( above ) , that is set in the most beautiful setting of the Sussex Downs.

For those unaware EPSOM LIVE in 2009 was again a resounding success with a summer race meeting followed by a pop concert - Status Quo really hit the downs. Perhaps an evening meeting a Sandown with alternative music, would be more appropriate. Both superb and inexpensive ways to entertain during the summer.

 

 

 

PLAY SNOOKER with JIMMY WHITE
JIMMY WHITE .JPG

Jimmy White who at 48, has this year produced some of the best snooker of his career, having last year won the Professional Players tournament in 2008, his first in 10 years! He is a charismatic character who is perfect for an entertaining evening of snooker and is ideal for a dinner or conference, where we can arrange for him to give an exhibition snooker match between himself and fellow professional, John Virgo. This can be followed by a challenge from those with the nerve to take on one of the greatest natural players of this era. Snooker is enjoying one of it's most popular periods now and these sessions are very limited because of his professional commitments. You can test this cool character's nerve by inviting him to a game of golf!

But of course after his success in televisions " I'm a Celebrity get me out of Here " nothing will daunt him.

CRICKET

TEST MATCH and ONE DAY INTERNATIONALS For Cricket lovers we are able to offer a large selection of various matches around the country this year. From the ODI matches against Australia at Lords, The Oval and The Rosebowl to the Test Match series. Early bookings are essential as last year we were unable to supply the huge demand that came in far too late to be fulfilled.

GOLF DAYS

THE BRITISH OPEN is at St Andrews golf course in Scotland, the home of golf and as well as this feast of top golf we can also offer another of the most exciting golf tournaments in the world THE RYDER CUP which this year is in Wales.

We offer official hospitality at prices as shown on web. Please see our pages on British Open and Ryder Cup for further details.

For those who prefer playing the game we are able to offer golf days and Pro-Am tournaments at some of the very best courses in the country.

V I P Theatre Evening

Our V I P evening is available for any West End show , especially for those that are sold out for months in advance, as we will get the best seats for an early date: not months away!. The evening can include a Champagne reception with canapes before the curtain up, with an excellent three course post show dinner, in the theatre restaurant. OR if preferred a Champagne reception with canapes and even more in the interval -the choice is yours.

Mamma Mia, Phantom of the Opera and the most popular as we go into 2010 is without doubt, TheJersey Boys that are all sold out shows with waiting lists until next year are not a problem and we can get official VIP places at most of the London West End top shows.

 

 

BRIGHTON TREASURE HUNT ( on foot )

This specially written and prepared treasure hunt will last about 3 hours, during which time everyone has the opportunity of exploring this fascinating town. Unlike London, where treasure hunts are in black taxis, this is made for walking. Starting with a briefing after a traditional sea-side meal of fish,chips and mushy peas, all guests will at least tackle the course with a full stomach. Should they be lucky enough to solve the final clues they will finish the day at a superb restaurant for a celebratory drink and dinner. No we are not going to diclose it's name! Those with a limited budget will like this even more as costs start from £80.00+vat per person.

STEAM DREAMS - A Day on a Steam Train

A steam train is to many, something either seen on television or a film such as The Railway Children and we were amazed at the response last year when we arranged an all day journey. As a completely different venture from tradition and the summer barbecue or party, why not let us arrange a late afternoon/evening mystery steam train journey with an excellent dinner or a luxury summer picnic hamper for the journey and entertainment aboard to complete the fun. What will surprise everyone, is the incredible interest the train attracts, as it passes through Haslemere and Winchester as at every level crossing and station there will be many gathered just to get a glimpse of this vintage steam train. What will be amazing to many is that over the five hours journey the train will be running on time and will reach speeds of 70mph in places, to ensure that is does. For many experienced commuters - this will be a first! This day can be prepared to go from London Victoria, Redhill or Guildford

CONCERTS for 2010

From Wembley Arena to O2 Arena where we have access to a superb VIP box for concerts,  we cover all of the major venues, even The Touring Glyndebourne Company . We have access to all of these concerts, but amazingly enough many are already selling out.  This year groups vary from JLS to Simply Red and James Morrison, even Van Morrison to Michael Bolton or MichaelBall . The evenings are Thursdays starting on 1st, 8th.15th, 22nd and 29th July.

For those interested in more classical music the lovely mezzo-sporano Kathryn Jenkins is at Hampton Court music festival which runs from 8th to 19th June and the legendary Dame Kiri Te Kanawa is at RHS Gardens Wisley. 

 

COWES and other sailing days

We offer the rare opportunity to use a magnificent 75' custom built motor yacht, Rum Jungle, that has hosted many functions enjoyed by selected blue chip companies. This yacht is built on a Nelson hull, renowned for it? sea-keeping qualities and the interior is lavishly finished in mahogany. It is without doubt one of the finest and renowned vessels on the South Coast of England and during Cowes week, will follow the racing for a real taste of the action. For something different, why not visit Deauville for horseracing and a little gambling, or even the Channel Islands. There are five luxurious cabins with en-suite for a full week-end as well as separate quarters for the crew. With plenty of drinks and good food aboard what more could be wanted!

Summer & Christmas Parties

Now is the time to start planning that important Company party, and we have had many years of planning and arranging them on an exclusive basis, unless you want to share them with hundreds of others you have never met before. You might, and if so we can arrange that as well, but if you would like " the place to yourself" then let us know, we have some really unusual and exciting venues. Christmas Parties often have little to do with the season of good cheer, but certainly are great fun, we have many venues and themes that will ensure your party is a big success. Just ask for more details and ideas. Our Summer Parties with a Barbecue and giant fun games including the climbing wall are such an economical way to spend a corporate summer evening for under £60.00!!

WEDDINGS for 2010/11

We are able to offer the complete wedding service for 2010/11 as we are now linked to the noted designer and very successful designer, Suzanne Neville, now considered by many to be the top designer with even her own brand of perfume.

From venues, catering, wedding dresses, hair and beauty on the day even to the invitations: we really can help make the dream stay that way, and not become a nightmare. But we like others appreciate as much as advanced warning as possible. AND as for the music we can offer bands and other entertainment that have appeared before the Royal Family. Should be good enough for the best occasion and now with so many unusual venues being licensed to perform the ceremony. What could be easier?
