An MBE, dinner at the Gherkin and lots of purple ... - Hospitality Action

e:action HA Update
Growing up
with The Garden
House Hotel
The personal memoirs of DM Reynolds, who
sadly passed away in November 2007, have
inspired a flood of donations to Hospitality
Action in tribute of his life and work. The Garden
House Hotel is part of Cambridge’s history and
as such Michael’s memories of growing up
in his parents’ hotel and then continuing their
good work have proved a fascinating read for
many. In tribute to this, donations have reached
a staggering £1,000.
