Reply to “Mini celebrations…” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread 25 November 2011I've just moved to a new company that doesn't subsidise the Christmas bash at all. Quite a change from the lash-fest my previous employer used to put on.
Christmas is the ideal time to say ‘thanks’ to staff. There's a party allowance tax break available for employers too, I believe. Seems a shame that some firms don't make the most of it; there's plenty of party planners out there that can make a small budget go far. More

Reply to “Royal Ascot” (in Venues & Events talk )
Read the thread April 2010Having been lucky enough to experience both, I'd have to say probably not. Although it's an amazing experience to be able to go into the Royal Enclosure once, i think if you're taking a large group, it's much better value for money to go for one of the other trackside facilities.
we took a group to the Bessborough Restaurant last year, where there's a Vivienne Westwood fashion show before the racing. Everyone seemed to really enjoyed it, even the men in the group.For a small party, though. The chance to get dressed up in top hat and tails is one that people will remember forever, so maybe the royal enclosure might be better for a real sense of occasion More
