  • I really look forward to the next BNC event.

    With kind regards

    Yvonne
    PS What a treat to have my nails done at the same time!!

  • We are thinking of using Chewton Glen for a VIP event in July and I just wanted to ask the group if they had any experiences good or bad with the hotel they could feedback.

    Thanks

  • Hi Kim

    I hope you are well? Apologies for not being in touch for some time but it has been completely hectic with events which is really good news considering the current climate.
    regards,

    Yvonne

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Many thanks to all those members who contributed towards my bound packs -v- electronic versions. Very interesting comments. I will let you know how I get on!

    Regards,

    Allison

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Many thanks to Matt and you! I am really happy being member of The BNC!! And of course, I am always happy to help re Berlin questions :)

    Kind regards

    Andrea

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Hope you're well. Please can you send me any replies to the on-line registration system question? We're soon to look into this ourselves, and it would be useful to hear any recommendations.

    Thanks

    Susan

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Denise has already used one of the contacts she met and it just goes to show how useful these networking meetings are.

    Kind regards

    Gail

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • I was delighted that I was already getting my colours mostly right and not surprised to be told that I'm dehydrated - my fitness trainer is always telling me off about that.

    Regards,

    Monica

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Thank you for the networking evening. It was great to come along and meet some new people. Please could you send this query out to the group? I am looking for a 4 / 5 star country house conference venue, maximum an hour and a half from London by train with convenient access from the rest of the UK and close to the train station. It needs to feel luxurious and have a country house rather than corporate venue feel, but it also needs a room for 60 U shape and 100 bedrooms. Any suggestions appreciated.

    Many thanks. Kind regards, Clare

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Just wanted to say thanks from Hayley and I for an enjoyable evening. It was good to see you again after all these years (I decided it was 8!). You haven't changed a bit.

    Kate

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • I think you'd be better to go to a city centre venue such as the Urbis museum, the Science & Industry museum or the Hilton Hotel's Cloud Bar. For exclusivity try the Sky Bar at the City Inn Hotel, or the rooftop loungebar and garden at the Great John Street Hotel on St John Street.

    Good luck.

    Regards

    Carole

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • I also wanted to say thank you (a little late) for all the responses regarding event agencies near Brighton for my friend which have proved really useful. He was really impressed with the quality of the contacts and I understand that they have somebody lined up. He was pleased to finally meet people who knew what they were talking about and had the right experience.

    Can you thank everybody for their replies.

    Kind regards

    Yvonne

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Thank you very much for Monday's event at Browns, which I greatly enjoyed. It's always good to meet with other event managers and it was a lovely hotel. I don't think I've ever had lobster canap?s before!

    Thank you

    Karen

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Please could you remind me of the password to access the members' side of the website?
    Thanks

    Claire

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Hi Kim, I hope you are well.
    To Lesley - re interactive entertainment: I have lots of friends who are lawyers who regularly go bowling on their networking events so you know it will probably be popular but won't be anything new for the clients. Other suggestions are quizzes, treasure hunts, wine tasting, chocolate making, sporting events (races, rugby, tennis etc), city/walking/ghost tours.

    Have fun, Kind Regards, Emma

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • I just wanted to say thanks for a great weekend. I especially enjoyed charades. Also can you pass my thanks on to Bryan and Andrew? I definitely wouldn't hesitate to use/recommend them.

    Many thanks,

    Colleen

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • I am trying to find a venue in London to cater for up to 100 guests for a drinks reception and sit down dinner in September. The budget is very tight, from ?11,500 - ?14,000. I have looked at many options but they're too expensive and they really are looking for a wow factor. The Tate Modern is an option (at the high end of their budget) but they're not too keen on that as they just cannot envisage it being a good space.

    Thanks

    Christina

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Please could you pass my thanks to all at Steigenberger for their hospitality on Thursday evening. It was most enjoyable and I am sorry I was unable to stay for the after theatre party.

    Regards

    Monica

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • If you can find it, this was a great venue - and one that has been specifically created from an old church.

    Regards,

    Carole

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Could you ask The BNC if anyone has worked with Shaker Events to arrange a corporate cocktail evening and if so do they have any feedback to share?

    Kind regards,

    Lucy

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Yes this weather has been lovely; hoping it will hold out for the weekend! Thanks for the feedback. We've been using the same flower provider for years, so it will be very useful to get some other quotes for comparison and to have a look for a different style.

    Many thanks,

    Have a good weekend, Susan

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • I hope you are keeping well? The BNC seems to be going from strength to strength these days! Would it be possible to send me a list of the staff you currently have registered? I would like to check for any updates.

    Thanks & regards, Fiona

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Thanks very much Kim and can you thank all the members for the responses re restaurants in Twickenham and also the taxi services around there on match days - VERY helpful.

    Alison

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • To answer Shirley's request I would recommend The Grove www.thegrove.co.uk. Great location, great indoor and outdoor pool, great food!

    Thanks

    Shirley

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Could you let Helen know with regards to the health and safety issue on lanyards: so long as the lanyard has the new safety release catch on them, which is worn at the back of the neck, they are perfectly fine. It's just in case they get caught on anything they will easily fall off with out trying to strangle you.

    Regards......Claire


  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Amazing - thanks so much. And so much other good stuff too.

    Thanks again

    Jessica

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Please thanks the group for me. Great recommendations as always....
    The information I received is extremely useful and it is saving me a lot of time!

    Celine

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Many thanks for sending out my below request. I'm looking forward to receiving the replies. I'm actually really interested in the email from Amanda regarding work experience at the city law firm. We have a fantastic graduate with us at the moment on work experience and she is trying really hard to get into events. This would be a great opportunity for her. Would you mind either passing on my details to Amanda or can I have her email address?

    Many thanks

    Sophie

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Can you please ask The BNC for their opinion on the following three caterers - Alison Price, Rocket and By Word of Mouth? We are hosting a client cocktail party for around 800 guests at the British Museum and would be interested to hear feedback from anyone who has used any of them recently.

    Many thanks

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Hope you're well. I'm looking for a jazz / swing band to play at our upcoming Charity Ball at the Royal Courts of Justice. We would like them to play throughout the meal more as background music while people are eating and talking. Any recommendations much appreciated.

    Many thanks,
    Emma

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Please pass on my thanks to those who have sent me some info on Health & Safety at exhibitions. This really is a minefield which keeps getting worse. But all of your comments have been extremely helpful.

    Thanks a lot, Elke

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Could you ask Alice how she got into freelancing events? It is something that I am very interested in. Appreciate your help.

    Regards,

    Claire

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Hope you are well! Thanks for sharing the comments from fellow event organisers on going through tough times at the moment. It does put things into perspective and makes those of use whose jobs seem relatively secure realise how lucky we actually are ......for now, although who really knows?!

    Many thanks and kind regards

    Jackie

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Can you please ask the group if they have any suppliers they would recommend to hire arcade games for an event?

    Thanks

    Charlotte

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Feedback on two questions this time: 1. Happy to chat through restaurants in Twickenham with Mabel directly as have lived pretty much my whole life in the area - so should be able to help. 2. Re the Chancery Court - a couple of colleagues ran an event there in February and the reception was mixed: it was good overall but I think there were a few issues with room set-ups. I'll try and get some feedback 'from the horse's mouth' and feedback further if I get any more additional info.

    Kind regards, Clare

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Just wondered if the group knew of, or could recommend, any venue-finding agencies?

    Kelly

    Also, our team is quite keen to network with other event managers, swap ideas etc. When is the next BNC networking event and do you know of any other events or networks we could join in order to meet other events professionals?

    Thanks, Claire

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • For Sophie - I organised a conference at St David's hotel in 2006 and it was fantastic. The staff were great and went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. They have changed hands since I used them though - used to be Roccoforte - so I would recommend she sees if anyone has used them recently.

    Kind regards,
    Emma

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Thank you for putting out my plea for like-minded event managers to get together. Yesterday I met with event managers from the Royal Mail, Logica, ROSPA and CIPFA, kindly hosted by the Royal Mail. We had an excellent discussion and a number of ideas were floated.

    Kate

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • I wanted to say thanks for the evening at Browns. I had a very enjoyable evening and learnt a few surprising things about the colours that suit me - bright red being one! I thought that the meeting rooms were really unusual too. Many thanks to Reed and McKay.

    Agi

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • We had a conference in Edinburgh and used an old church for our evening drinks party.

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Thanks so much for inviting me to the event last night. It was great to see the hotel and Reed and Mackay in action. I really enjoyed getting my colours done - now I need to go shopping!

    Alice

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Hi Kim

    On behalf of Debi and myself we'd just like to say a huge thank you for the incredible evening at the Priscilla Queen of the Desert show last Thursday. The hospitality from the Steigenberger Hotel Group was out of this world!

    Many, many thanks Debi and Candice

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • If there is any like-minded retail event managers out there who would like to get together, perhaps we could fix up a networking event sometime in the autumn?
    Look forward to meeting you all.

    Kind regards,
    Kate

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • As always though, if the taxi/car is taking them to the match and collecting afterwards, its best for the car to try and park in the Richmond College car park (I think the match day parking is around 25/30GBP per day). That way the driver can sit and wait for them at the same place he drops them off, and it's only a short stroll across the A316 to Twickenham stadium.
    Good luck.

    Carole

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Having worked as a project manager in exhibition design for over five years, I would be able to help Eve. What she is looking for and what her budget is would determine who I would recommend.

    Shelly

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Hope you are well. Please could you ask the group if anybody can offer some feedback on the Babylon at the Roof Gardens in Kensington? I am thinking of booking the private room with a balcony for an awards meal that I have in June and would appreciate anybody's comments.

    Regards,

    Claire

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • In addition Jen and Joanna (cc'd) will be taking over parts of my role, could you include them on the BNC mailing list please?

    Thanks

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • A big THANKYOU for such a good evening last night. The venue was amazing and it's great to meet different people each time we have a networking event. Sorry Denise and I were rushing off again but dinner invitations in London are too good to miss!

    Kind regards

    Gail and Denise

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Bizarrely Katie and I were going to contact you/The BNC this week to ask for feedback on online registration systems. Would it be possible to forward us any comments you get based on Shirley's request?

    Many thanks,

    Claire

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • If you would like to put her in touch with me I would be happy to chat to her and give her some advice and two or three names to look at, as it may not necessarily be that she needs one of the big well-known companies if her needs are basic and budget small.

    Kate

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • This is really helpful. Please pass my thanks to Katie and Marie. Hotel du Vin had been mentioned; so it's good to have independent confirmation of its excellence.

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • I'm looking for an agency that would run our CIO advisory board. The agency would need to have some connections and experience in the CIO world, and would provide the complete end-to-end service of delivering these quarterly meetings. From inviting people, organising speakers, to the logistics on the day.

    Sarah

  • Regarding venues with roof terraces: I use Shoreditch House and Kensington Roof Gardens on a regular basis. Both are very good spaces for entertaining.

  • Just did a bit of my own networking, in Norwich of all places! Had lunch with Lesley from OAG. We met at a venue launch last year and discovered we both lived in Norfolk. Perhaps we should start our own East Anglia chapter as she tells me she is in the BNC too!

    Annie

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • I hope you are well. I am looking for a venue in Oxfordshire or Berkshire which can hold 250 - 300 for a relaxed afternoon garden party feel event. Programme - champagne reception followed by afternoon tea. Can either be inside with outside space or in the grounds in a marquee, total budget ?12,000.

    Many thanks

  • Just a small note if anyone is prepared to share details of their marketing cost per acquisition with me, and the overall direct cost for having each delegate at the event. Or if not what they actually achieve, what they try to achieve? Just looking for the simple details: ie
    Exhibition
    Marketing cost - ?15 a delegate
    Overall cost - ?95 a delegate
    Conference
    Marketing cost - ?10 a delegate
    Overall cost - ?60 a delegate

  • Apologies for not thanking you sooner for a fantastic evening at the Soho Hotel. The cinema there is brilliant, as is the ambiance of the downstairs area of the reception. It was great to see the 2Excel Aviation set up as well - I hope to be able to use them very soon.

  • Can you ask the members if they can recommend an event agency? I need an agency that can cover all types of events. I've been looking at two agencies: Adding Value and the Event Business. Has anyone used these agencies and do they have some feedback?

  • I can recommend the River Bank Park Plaza hotel or Savoy Place www.savoyplace.co.uk. Savoy Place has my favourite view of London from its top floor balcony, it's also reasonably priced.

    Good luck with your search! Clare

  • We contract with hotels for a block of guest rooms and through the contracts we sign provide a guarantee of a minimum number of rooms or room nights for our group. In the past this has been sufficient to guarantee the rooms. However, we have just signed a contract with a hotel in Barcelona and are in the process of negotiating a contract with an international hotel chain for London next year and have been asked to pay the first night's accommodation upfront.

  • Hi Kim

    I just wanted to say thank you very much for an excellent evening on Monday night aboard the Silver Sturgeon. It was lovely to finally meet you and also to network with other members of The BNC. I found the evening really enjoyable as well as extremely useful. I made some really good contacts and went away with my head buzzing with ideas and have since heard back from many of the suppliers I met on the night. It is really useful to have the opportunity to meet other event professionals to exchange ideas and find out what is out there! The food was delicious and the service excellent and I look forward to using the Silver Sturgeon as a venue for future events.

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Please pass on a huge thank you to everyone who responded to my question about a fashion photography party venue.

    The suggestions were enormously helpful as always.

  • We are looking at having a bespoke system built that will allow us to content-manage our events information and to take delegate bookings (and payments) for our conferences online. I would like to get some comparative costs for a project of this kind and wondered whether anyone in the group has done something similar and would be willing to let me know the approximate total cost, from specification through to completion?

  • Thank you for the invitation to the networking event last night. Met some interesting people, as always, and managed to make my canap?s without too much stress, even if it was with a little artistic license! I even managed to make it to my train (although the decision to run up the escalator should have been preceded by a look UP it to see how long it actually was - and once you start, you aren't allowed to stop!)

    Lovely to see you again

  • I hope you're well. I'm organising a dinner for around 250 senior city execs at the Science Museum and I have to organise after dinner entertainment. The most obvious is an after dinner speaker like a comedian but I was hoping the group could give me other ideas. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Best wishes, Emma

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Replying to Alison (about collecting people at Twickenham).....this is an issue that comes up every year for me, as my folks come down from the North West of England for the day. What's best is that your guests remain in the bars inside Twickenham after the game for a couple of drinks. Approx. One hour later it's relatively easy for cars to get close to the ground. Have your guests walk to the West Car Park entrance and have your car meet them there.

    Best wishes

  • My colleague has returned from a conference in the US where he met with a marketing contact who has the CMP qualification and recommended it to him for myself.
    I have had a look on the internet and have found a whole host of information. However, I am unsure if this is a US-only based qualification. Has anyone in The BNC had any experience with this, being based in the UK? If not, do you or anyone else know if there is a UK equivalent? Any information anyone has would be most helpful.

    Thanks Kim

  • Company logoCompany Logo
  • Please could you ask the group if they have any party venue suggestions in central London for approx 600/700 people? We are holding a conference at ExCeL London, and are looking for a quirky party venue. Last year we booked the silver surgeon Boat, which was great. The crowd is young and vibrant, and a venue with a wow factor is required.
    Look forward to hearing any suggestions.

  • I held an event at the House of Commons in March. It is very simple and the catering departments are very helpful but, yes, you do have to have an MP to act as your sponsor and the formal 'host' of the event. Nominally it is his event but you can agree that you will settle all bills etc.

  • Hope you're well? Re drinks parties in Manchester: I'd avoid Old Trafford (both the cricket ground and the football ground) unless you're actually doing corporate hospitality at a match, or doing something like a museum tour. The football ground is a little dead and atmosphere-free when it's just a small party in this 82,000 seater stadium. Also, you're a couple of miles outside the city here, and would have to transport everyone by bus there and back (not the place you would want to leave a nice car parked outside unless there is security hired for the event).

    Thanks for your help as always. Have a great bank holiday weekend.

  • In response to Vicky's request for a dinner location in Rome I would suggest Villa Miani which is on the hill next to the Hilton Cavalieri (sp).
    We used it for a gala dinner of 500+ and it was spectacular. One of my favourite places in the world.

  • In response to Nat's question on South Africa I would thoroughly recommend the Vineyard Hotel & Spa in Cape Town for her event in July. I held an event there in November and the location, service and value for money was absolutely outstanding - not to mention backdrop of table mountain and tortoises roaming the grounds. They have two large function rooms and pre-function areas on the ground and first floor which, depending on the set-up required (e.g. classroom/cinema) could probably manage 200 seated. Here is a link to their conference brochure http://www.vineyard.co.za/pages/conference_brouche.htm

  • I am just coming back from Shanghai and have held several work dinners at 'M on the Bund' - ideally drinks outside on balcony first as it has spectacular views over across to Pudong and great light show, best views in the city. Inside very hip and chic with classic fusion/ European food.

    If you want traditional Shanghai food, try 'Ye Shanghai' in Xintiandi - in the French Concession area, very lively and good atmosphere.

    Good luck & enjoy your time in Shanghai.

  • I was wondering if you could help with the below!

    We have a dinner in Berlin on the 10th November at the Maritim Berlin for 550 people and we are looking for an entertainment act during or after the dinner. We have used a company called opera on the run in the UK and we are looking for something similar, they are a surprise opera act that are disguised as waiters and then break into opera during the meal. The act would need to be in English!
    Any musicians, entertaining acts or anything you think is suitable please let me know!

    Would you be able to put this question to the group? Thanks I am at the planning stages for our Annual Conference to be held in October in Toronto, Canada. As part of the conference program we offer a day trip to all delegates and their partners. Other than Niagara Falls and wineries, is anyone able to offer any suggestions on what they have done or are planning to do? The group size would be around 150 pax. mainly male Managing Partners from independent legal and accounting firms from around the world.
    Coach travel from the city centre would be possible but at a 1 hour transfer limit. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.

    Thanks Kind regards

    There is a hotel bar called Do&Co, not sure if they take group bookings but they are in the centre of town with Cathedral views. Great location
    http://www.doco.com/
    Or there is Mack, just opposite the Hilton, they do great food as well. Modern interior in a beautiful old building. They have a restaurant and bar area. Mak is a museum as well.

  • Regarding the Istanbul hotel request I would like to recommend the Four Seasons Hotel - which is located in the heart of the historic quarter (close to the Blue Mosque). Alternatively, the Ciragan Palace, which is a Kempinski property located on the shores of the Bosphorous. I held an event for the same number of people at this hotel last year and it was truly memorable. The Ritz Carlton is also very good. I do know that Istanbul is very popular at this time of year so this member would need to get in touch with the venues as soon as possible.

    I hope this helps.

  • I hope you're well!

    Re the after dinner entertainment - I did a dinner in Vienna last year and used a brilliant London based act called String Fever instead of an after dinner speaker - 3 brothers and a friend who form a string quartet but make an act out of it - its very very clever and very funny! All of the people we had at the dinner (about 130 global top execs) were really wowed.

    Think the website is www.stringfever.co.uk; I can dig out a contact for their PA if there is interest.

    Also - I'm back at work next week after 10 months on maternity leave - therefore please could you send emails to my business e-mail instead of this address from now on?
