    Bring your soapbox to our next networking event, styled on Japan's PechaKucha Clubs.  Eight businesses will have the opportunity to make a five-minute presentation to Members and guests.  Presenters are allowed to use 20 slides, each shown for 20 seconds each (20 x 20).  It's a format that makes presentations concise and keeps things moving at a rapid pace, but beware, don't break the rules or over-do the pitching.

     

    If you would like to present, please contact David Perry, Farebrother on 020 7855 3530, or email:  dperry@farebrother.net.

     

    The event is open to 2 attendees per Member company.

  • Blackfriars station has reopened - closed since March 2009, the station has been transformed as part of the £5.5billion upgrade of the through-London Thameslink route, and now is the first London station to span the River Thames.  The extended platforms that reach out across the rebuilt Victorian railway bridge allow the latest 12 carriage trains to use the station.  A new entrance on the South Bank opened in December providing access to Tate Modern and the National Theatre.

     

    There will be 4,400 solar panels on the roof of the station, providing over 50% of the station's annual energy needs.

     

    Come and find out how the 46,000 daily tube passengers' lives have been improved with the reopening, and how this part of Midtown is now better connected.
