Tom - Big Air

With regards to repatriation, I will put you in touch with someone who is involved in such,
With regards to the wine tasting, I do have some pretty exclusive tasting here and abroad, whether in the air, on a boat or on land, anywhere.
For the Bordeaux-Rotary trip, I will wait for your quote before proposing anything
Finally for the various packages on offer, I will forward to you any high profile event packages that we get through the group.
The Group includes in association : Ladies on Tour, Simply Elegant, Deborah Dwek Weddings, Exclusive France Holidays, MEB Music Management, Snap-Drape Europe, DRM-Destination & Resources Management (Based in Geneva), Savvy Club, Mayobee, Carte Blanche Plus, Bulgarian Doorsteps, Venue Find, Web Systems, Clarity Event Insurance, and we are further associated to Gullivers Travel Associates, Sigma AV, Nomadic Display, Abela Secretarial Services, BMS International (Based in Berlin), to name a few.
We organise events for various companies, societies, charities and associations from all way of life, from gay businesses to royalty throughout Europe, although through DRM, we have also an office in Montreal and have personal contact in New York, L.A. and Washington D.C.
Most events are based on Art, Food, Drink and most importantly on networking. The social element is very much predominant and am personally thriving in such environment, presenting people that I know will either make business or become friendly.
As said, I welcome a exchange of links between our two organisations.
I look forward to seeing you again soon
Best wishes,
Jean-François.

Whirlwind

Isn't life such a whirlwind? I so enjoy it! not enough time to update you all on what I am doing but busy organising various events for Circa (www.circa-club.com) and the Savvy Club (www.savvyclub.co.uk) This off course on top of the events for the Rotary, Anglo-Belgian Organisations, various galleries, clubs, charities and embassies. I thought that the Cercle Francois stepped up with the wonderful presentation by Lalique last month and we had this great tasting of chocolates by Galler this month. In June, David will talk about the Cote d'Azur which is appropriate as I will be leaving for the area just after the talk!

Forgotten! We went to Helsinki for the Eurovision! Last year we went as accredited journalist for a website in Greece that is now redundant but I was there as a translator, this was fun. This year we went by our own steam and Helsinki is a lovely city, albeit a bit small. Eurovision itself is becoming quite expensive with tickets costing €250 each for the final and we went to a few rehearsal and semi final too. Eurovision is a great way to get to know people from all over the world in a very short space of time. Yes there are quite a few nerds too but never dangerous, just funny. In our hotel, we were in the room next to Virka (the Ukrainian song) and breakfast was fun to watch both teams from Russia and Ukraine ignoring each other blatantly.

Must dash now I am going to Glyndebourne!

New venue in Brussels
