What's Floating Around Cloud 9? 21st May

Welcome to another week at Cloud 9 and its sure to be a busy one!

We have five days worth of work to shove into three days as we are having two trips out and about this week with some of our great hotel partners.

On Thursday we are off to enjoy an exclusive preview of the new conference and banqueting facilities at the Hilton and Hampton by Hilton, St George's Park, in Burton on Trent.

A landmark in the history of English football, establishing a National Football Centre in England has long been a dream of The FA. Various sites and schemes have been considered over the years, and in 2001, a 330-acre freehold site in Burton-upon-Trent was acquired by The FA. The site was landscaped and pitches were installed. The FA is delighted to partner with the internationally respected Hilton Hotels & Resorts and Hampton by Hilton.

The two hotels will operate under one roof at St. George’s Park; a luxury Hilton hotel and a Hampton by Hilton hotel for value-wise guests, and we get to take a sneak preview this week at both properties and the facilities!

In fact, it's so much of an exclusive preview that we have even been asked to supply our shoe size so we can wear work boots on site!


Friday sees us going much further afield to enjoy the great hospitality of Q Hotels at the unveiling of the Carrick Suite at The Westerwood Hotel and Golf Resort in Glasgow.

The Westerwood Hotel & Golf Resort is one Glasgow hotel not to be missed. The Westerwood Hotel is located in prime territory whether you are craving the city buzz or the simple pleasures in life. With the recent opening of the M80 motorway, allowing extremely easy access to the hotel, The Westerwood Hotel & Golf Resort is now only fifteen minutes from both Glasgow city centre and Stirling giving you a world of options that other hotels in Glasgow could only dream of.

The Westerwood Hotel near Glasgow prides itself on a lot more than just its location. Our grounds are second to none, without even touching on our 18 hole championship golf course. But if you do want to treat yourself to a round or two, the challenge will be made even more spectacular by the surrounding Campsie Hills.


We are looking forward to afternoon tea with a wee dram, a drinks reception and a great black tie do with ceilidh dancing! We can't promise to be any good at the dancing but I am sure we will enjoy the event immensely!


We are certainly seeing some very generous people around at the mo and our Royal Ascot Ladies Day event on 21st June is certainly benefiting. As part of the proceedings we have a charity raffle in aid of Breast Cancer Care and our haul of prizes is starting to stack up!

We wont list them all just yet, but here is a selection of some of the great prizes you could win on the day!

Restaurant 1877 has donated not one, but two prizes of a meal for two from the pre-theatre menu and also, a Cookery Class experience for one person with two guests.

1877 is a family-run, Michelin rated, traditional English restaurant, located at the former Ben Bowers site on Canning Circus, in the heart of the city and is one of the finest restaurants in Nottingham. http://www.restaurant1877.com/index.cfm

Effortless Beauty has donated a 45 minute Lava Shell back, shoulder and scalp massage which is a treatment suitable for both ladies and gents.

The radiating heat from the polished smooth shells delivers a deeper pressured and highly relaxing treatment. Lava Shells retain their heat up to 10 times longer than hot stones. The Beeston based salon has a range of great treatments so please do take a look http://www.effortless-beauty.co.uk/index.php


Sutherland & Barnett Hair & Beauty have donated a Ladies Cut & Finish at their stylish Lace Market Salon.  http://www.sutherlandbarnett.co.uk/  Sutherland & Barnett was conceived by Kate and Andrew Sutherland and Craig Barnett who all agreed that, despite what we are led to believe, most cities and towns in England lack high quality independent salons that are not franchises, clones or multinationals. Nottingham is no different.In the last 4 years, they have won British Hairdressing Business Awards Business Newcomer, Hair Awards Talent Scout 2012, and the Heart 106 Lifestyle Awards Best Hair Salon.

A huge thank you to those who have donated prizes so far and we'll reveal more soon so watch this space!
