Dear Friends and supporters,
December is a wonderful time of the year when I
can wish you all the very best for Christmas, Bodhi Day, Return of the Wandering
Goddess, Id al-Fitr, Winter Solstice, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yuletide & Saturnalia and a healthy, loving, peaceful
and prosperous year 2020.
Thank you
for contributing to the success of JFDE.
Here is
my round robin of the year: :-)
Please note and see at the bottom of
this email my new websites and email addresses.
The
Gay Professional Network met regularly this year, it included a reception at the House of Lords hosted by The Lord Scriven of
Hunters Bar and various talks by Sir Stephen
Wall, Joseph Galliano, Andrew Lumsden
and dinners and plenty of networking!
In 2020, GPN's 10th anniversary year, we kick out the year with Matthew
Hodson followed by Pliny
Soocoormanee and Peta Cooper, Ed
Davies, Carla
Ecola, Peter Tatchell, Dan Nouveau, Mark Bunyan, Ian Dodds and Paul
Burston.
The Network saw its revival after a few
month away and we had talks by Roland
Marsden about China
and Kim Rix about Diamonds.
In 2020,
we kick out with Frank Mc
Gillion about his books, Cedric
Torossian about PropTech , Dexter Moscow about 'standing
up and sell!' Sandra Shevey
about Alfred Hitchcock
I
promoted various other events, one of which sadly fell on this blackest of Black
Friday.
As an event
organiser, I organised and recommended various venues for various events that
will remain nameless to protect the privacy of my clients and businesses.
As a
catering consultant, people keep trying
to pick my brain so I ask them to pick a time and method of payment: Good advice saves you bucks and free advice peanuts. I am well worth the
investment.
I came to
a sudden conclusion that it is now 40 years that I started Hotel School
and started work alongside it.
As Hon.
Secretary of the Whitefriars Club,and
under the chairmanship of Alessandro Gallenzi our dinners were graced by the presence, their
talks and even songs, in one instance, of
Sir John Tomlinson, Nigel Newton, Sir
Anthony Beevor, Lisa Hilton, Anthony Mc Carten, A.N. Wilson and Kate Mosse .
In 2020
Bee Rowlatt and Richard Stokes are coming to speak to us.
I did a
few films but less so now as I travel to and fro Belgium ,
Wales and London and occasionally to other shores.

Season's Greetings!
It
remains to me to wish you and your family a wonderful end of year's festivities
Yours
ever,
Jean-François.
