Another fine do!
Another year and another reunion. A very successful event. Already several people are saying that they hope to come along to another one next year.
The venue and format seem to work, however, if you have any comments or suggestions please let either Caron or Paul know.
If anyone has pictures of other events that were held at Courtaulds plc, Christmas Parties, Summer Parties, any ephemera from the company we’d like to hear from you.
Thank you again to everyone who came last night and for the good wishes.
Courtaulds Reunion III – February 27th 2014
A date for your diaries, the third Reunion is being planned and will take place on Thursday 27th February 2014, from 4.00 p.m. till 8.00 p.m. at the Pizza Express, Bruton Place, London, W1. This time the cost will be £20.00 per head.
Future Events – Your ideas welcome
Since it was such a success, so many of you sent notes of thanks saying just that, we thought it would be good to put together some more informal events.
The idea would be to meet up at a pre-determined place and time, we all make our own way to the venue, no fixed plan. Some suggestions:
- Eltham Palace Visit, culminating in a lunch or afternoon tea at a local hostelry.
- Theatre in the Park, evening theatre in Regents park, with maybe a picnic before.
- Eurostar Day Trip to Paris, early morning train returning after a day in France’s Capital city.
One definite date for the diary! Costs will probably be the same. We will try to book the same venue too.
- Courtaulds Reunion II – Q1 2013. Dates TBC
That all went rather well, didn’t it?
Fantastic! Splendid! Very successful! Wonderful! Resounding Success! Extremely good value! Long may it continue!
Just a few of the comments received since the “party” all the comments suggest that there will be enough interest to hold another.
It was mentioned that some may be interested to know about a book available on Amazon The Rise and Fall of Great Companies: Courtaulds and the Reshaping of the Man-Made Fibres Industry (Pasold Studies in Textile History) Geoffrey Owen (Author) Click on Information above for the review.
Thank you to everyone who has sent messages of thanks and encouragement, it was a great pleasure and indeed all made very worthwhile when everyone arrived. A special thank you to Heather Nash who travelled all the way from Canberra, Australia to be with us.
Today’s the Day!
With only hours to go just time for a quick update.
