Family Members Lunches<br />

So far in 2008 we have been able to host Family Members lunches in London <strong>and</strong><br />

Taunton <strong>and</strong> as always <strong>the</strong>y were gre<strong>at</strong>ly enjoyed by our Family Members. These lunches<br />

allow us to build a better rel<strong>at</strong>ionship with our Family Members <strong>and</strong> for <strong>the</strong> Family<br />

Members it is an opportunity to be spoilt for a short while. At all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lunches we were<br />

tre<strong>at</strong>ed like VIPS <strong>and</strong> for many it was a rare opportunity to enjoy such an event. Equally it<br />

allows <strong>the</strong> Family Members to meet new people from <strong>the</strong>ir area, giving <strong>the</strong>m a chance to<br />

reminisce <strong>and</strong> also make new friends.<br />

The Holiday Inn Mayfair has very<br />

kindly hosted 2 lunches so far this<br />

year in March <strong>and</strong> June <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>re are<br />

2 more scheduled for September <strong>and</strong><br />

December. On 17th March our Family<br />

Members in <strong>the</strong> London area were<br />

tre<strong>at</strong>ed to a St P<strong>at</strong>rick’s Day celebr<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

including h<strong>at</strong>s!<br />
