Dear all,

As you are aware, the annual client hospitality event is fast approaching, and we have not yet made a final decision on where to hold it this year. One or two of you have already come forward with suggestions, which are currently being considered. However, since we need to make the necessary arrangements soon, I would like everybody's input on this as soon as possible.

What I particularly want to avoid is a repetition of the fiasco we had last year at the showjumping event. Apart from the fact that very few of our clients have even the remotest interest in the sport, the atrocious weather meant that we were walking backwards and forwards through the mud between the showring and the hospitality tent all day. The whole thing was a complete disaster, and people were still complaining about it six months later!

This year, we had planned to do something more cultural, like going to the opera or even a musical. However, I have been wondering if this is a good idea. A musical event doesn't seem to be the best place to network. We can hardly ask the singers to keep the noise down while we all have a good chat!

Nevertheless, I do think that an indoor event makes the most sense, so can I ask you all to be thinking along those lines over the next few days? I had scheduled a meeting for next Friday to discuss the matter further, so I'll speak to you all then.
