What a fantastic evening! Celebrating the launch of our exclusive new packages for official hospitality at The Open Golf 2010, Sodexo Prestige hosted a glamorous reception at The Ritz Club Casino on Tuesday 30th September.
Champagne and conversation flowed freely, and my first trip to The Ritz simply blew me away. It is a privately owned members club, and is situated in the former ballroom of the Ritz Hotel. The décor is phenomenal; very old school glamour. Even the toilets were palatial!
It’s always daunting when confronted with a large room of people to ‘network’ with, but the atmosphere was warm and friendly, without an awkward pause to be found. I met some truly interesting people and was entertained for longer than I should have been by the delightful Dr Michael Maloney, with his wonderful stories about some true Hollywood stars and The Royal Family. Oh the glamour!
David MacCallum, our Sales Director for the Open, gave a humorous introduction to evening with his special brand of Aussie wit (cheeky), and later drew business cards from the raffle to give out some exciting prizes:
1) 2 nights in a double bedroom on B&B basis at a Contessa Hotels
2) Elite dinner package for 2 on Bateaux London
3) Round of golf for 4 people at Doonbeg Golf resort (£700 value)
4) Evening at City Golf for up to 6 people on the simulators including a bucket of beers
I have to say, I was quite shocked that I came away without winning anything; I had put at least 10 of my business cards in there!
