go out and enjoy ourselves.... Please

In
March I met with various people involved in properties and financial services. I
attended various opening of galleries and was impressed by the Stern Fine Arts in Albermale Street
and the Olivier Dassault exhibition at the Opera Gallery.
The Network was at Mahiki in
March, Après in April and will be at the Eccleston Square Hotel on the 16th May,
save the date! This is the Network with a
difference.
There
will also be a more intimate dinner on the 22nd May
An Agreeable Society for
those involved or with an interest in the Arts will meet on the 23rd May at the
Royal Institution of Great Britain.
Rachel Elbaz presented her new delightful
collection in her Knightsbridge boutique.
GPN was held at the Royal Aeronautical Society in March and
in April at the Foundry in Camden,
the next one is on the 17th May at
Chinawhite with Harold Findley talking about his
new play about the relationship between Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Andy
Warhol. GPN also held its first dinner
which was a Taittinger Champagne dinner, the next one is on the 29th May at the Eccleston Square Hotel.
I
met with people from the Royal Academy of Music
with regard to institute an award in memory of Robert Tear CBE for the Arts Club Charitable Trust and visited the
beautiful studio and home of Ruth Macdonald
in Regents Park where an exclusive private view
will be held on the 13th June, save
the date.
I
also attended Polari
for the first time with Paul Burston as the
MC.
The
highlight must have been the Eccentric Dinner with
HRH Prince Philip who was in good form as when I toasted him replied "
I feel better already". The following month we elected the most eccentric people in United Kingdom.
Do look at the website.
This
month we had a fantastic evening showcasing the artistry and the French Haute
Joaillerie of Zoraste and Marchak. I was like a little boy in a sweet
shop with fascinating stones and the
wonderful craftsmanship of the best atelier in the world.
I
very much look forward to seeing you again and to welcoming you at one of these
events.
Yours
ever,
Jean-Francois.
