It’s Christmas Party Time Already
We work very closely with the best Christmas Party organisers in the North West and they have just launched their 2011 programme for events in their Grand Marquees at Tatton Park in Cheshire and Knowsley Safari Park near Liverpool. Their west end show stars are putting “The Venetian Carnivale” at Tatton and “Bonsoir Paris” at Knowsley and tables are going quickly, so entertain your friends, family, work colleagues and go to www.jdparties.co.uk to reserve your special night out from the beginning of December until New Years Eve.

Volcanic Ash affects events
I have just read that the airspace lockdowns triggered by volcanic ash from Iceland led to the cancellation or deferment of two thirds of events planned during the affected days.
So why go abroad to talk? This is made even worse by the strike at British Airways – So what is wrong with GB Ltd?

Team Building Events
I have found a great company that organises Team Building Events based in Chester called Your Great Escape. They specialise in many activities one of which is abseiling down the walls of Peckforton Castle or you may prefer to do something a little different like Duck Herding or Falconry or Shooting with the magnificent view of Beeston Castle in the background. They also do other thought prevoking activities which are excellent for team building perhaps after a conference or meeting.
Call 01948 667897 or email info@yourgreatescape.co.uk for details.
Election Fever
Whoever wins the election, lets hope that they sort out the economy, so that we can all get on with our business.
We all need to explore the best way to fully utilise our resources – The most important one being human resources and as such we need to encourage them to perform through example and training.
A company has recently come to us to organise a series of training courses, as they in expansion mode, as such we have found venues from Brighton to Chester and managed to negotiate some great delegate rates all within their budget.
So don’t be put off by the election – call us to organise your events, meetings and conferences all free of charge, to motivate and train your staff and we will take the hasle out of event planning and venue finding.
Conference Venues for Training
Another interesting article from M&T magazine – Training Budgets!
Training budgets are the first to be cut in a recession or when times get tough, but there is new legislation. From April, employees in businesses employing 250 or more will have the right to “ask for training”. If the employer cannot provide a sound business reason why not and refuses to provide it, staff can pursue them through the courts to seek damages.
From April 2011 the law will apply to all companies.
So don’t throw away your corporate training programme, get in touch with us and we will help you plan, organise and find the right training venue to suit your needs and budget. Give us a call now 01829 770301.
