APS Annual "Black Tie" Dinner |
 September 8th 2009
Manchester Town Hall, Manchester
The Annual Academy dinner will be held on Tuesday 8th September 2009 in Manchester
Town Hall, a cash bar will be available from 7.30 pm followed by Dinner at
8.00 pm.
Over
the last 10 years The Academy has held one of the social highlights of the
British Pharmaceutical Conference in its “Black Tie” Dinner. This has been
free to all members relying on the generous support of sponsors for funding.
The Board has carried out a review of the dinner and noted the following:
-
Approx 10% of those
who register for the dinner do not turn up on the night (18 people in
2008). As a consequence last year £450 was wasted as the Academy had to
pay for most of that cost.
-
In the current
economic climate it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract
sponsorship.
In
order for the Dinner to continue it has been agreed to introduce a nominal
“non refundable” booking fee of £10 for all categories of membership.
In addition each year there are requests from non-members or guests to
attend the dinner. It has been agreed to allow non-members and guests
to attend the dinner for a fee of £50.
The above action will limit the financial liability to the Academy and
ensure that the dinner remains viable and one of the leading social
highlights of the BPC.
We are limited to a maximum of 120 dinners so early registration is
recommended. |
