Holiday Inn, Newbury Racecourse and Hawkwell House Hotel play host to B4 members
B4 Members were treated to three events this summer starting with Speed Networking at The Holiday Inn in Oxford, followed by two excellent Platinum Dinners at Hawkwell House Hotel and Newbury Racecourse.
Three great events for B4 members and their guests to enjoy and lots more to look forward to this and next year. We’re re-doubling our efforts with regards to B4 events as your feedback is telling us ‘we want more’.
The three events featured here gave our members three very different experiences. From expert art dealer, Aidan Meller’s, excellent talk at Hawkwell House Hotel on the art world of today including multi million pound investments and plans for a plethora of museums around the world, to ace tipster Colin Brown’s great insight into the world of racing before the fun started at Newbury and the fast paced speed networking at The Holiday Inn, there literally was something for everyone to enjoy.
Please do get in touch with our key contacts at all venues to find out how you can benefit from their superb hospitality. Thank you to Jo Radford at The Holiday Inn, Keeley Dennyschene at Hawkwell House Hotel and Tracy Skinner at Newbury Racecourse for all of your support in hosting these events.
Moving forwards, if you’re contemplating B4 membership then we really do have some treats in store for you. We’re back at Rhodes House in September for what is now our curtain raiser event post the summer holidays. An enjoyable drinks plays a part in most B4 events, none more so at the impressive Bombay Sapphire Distillery on 30th August and for those of you who enjoyed cocktail making at Business in Oxford, we’re visiting the home of The Cocktail Service on 20th September at The Globe in Oxford. Thanks once again to our great friends at Conference Oxford who have arranged a B4 event at St Antony’s College on 26th September, another chance for B4 members to see inside one of our beautiful Oxford University colleges.
If you’d like to join our Platinum Members for dinner, we have three great dates to look forward to at Pembroke College, Randolph Hotel and the Divinity School in December.
Looking ahead to 2018, we already have six confirmed dates, four confirmed venues with dates to be confirmed and just two more venues to find so our members will have one B4 event a month to put in their diaries.
All in all, a busy time for us and some great connection opportunities for you. So please do join us.
