Evening Meetings: Why Not Continue The Discussion Over Dinner?
Evening speaker meetings are, as many members will know, followed not only by drinks and the chance to catch up with colleagues and make new acquaintances, but also where possible by the opportunity to continue the discussion over dinner at a central London venue. If you would you like to dine with the speakers, please contact the Secretariat. The cost of the dinner to members is only £45. |
