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 Stephen King on 14 September, please contact the Secretariat. The cost of the dinner to members is only £45. |
SBE Statistics Group
The special meeting on statistics on 3 June heard lively presentations from Joe Grice of the Office for National Statistics and from Andrew Dilnot, and a decision was taken at the meeting to revive the SBE Statistics Group. A full report will appear in The Business Economist in due course.
Further details of the Group and its activities will follow in a future newsletter, but anyone interested in joining in the interim should contact Jill Leyland at jill.leyland@ntlworld.com |
