SOCIAL PROGRAMME
£50.00 per personThursday 23rd October 2008
The Gala Dinner at the IPHOUM Conference is always a popular event and those who attended in 2006 unanimously agreed that it would be a hard Gala Dinner to follow, but by choosing the very special venue of the Mansfield Traquair, we are aiming to create another special evening of good food, some light musical entertainment and an excellent networking opportunity.
Mansfield Traquair is a former catholic apostolic church which has now been restored and preserved so that the breath-taking colourful mural decorations by Phoebe Anna Traquair from 1885 once again dazzle the guest. It is truly a magical and sparkling place to attend a Dinner.
The ticket price includes reception drinks, a 3 course dinner, wine and music.
Please book your ticket at the time of registering as places will be limited.
