Welcome to another week and its a busy one ahead to say the least.....
With Halloween all done and dusted, it's Bonfire Night tomorrow so we are getting our woolly gloves out ready for our sparklers - which is about as much as we have time to organise this year with so much else going on here at Cloud 9...
We have trips to Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester in preparation for events for next year as well as two days at the Meet Birmingham Showcase at the back end of the week!
Now in its third year, the Meet Birmingham Showcase, in association
with M&IT, is the chance to explore Birmingham, and meet
face-to-face with the people who can make your events happen.In the midst of some truly incredible changes, the city is seeing
transformations unlike ever before. The brand new £188million Library
of Birmingham not only offers a new city landmark, but also truly unique
event spaces.
The city’s infrastructure is also seeing great change, with the
redevelopment of New Street Station and the runway expansion at
Birmingham Airport. And with a steady stream of new hotels, there has
never been a more exciting time to be bringing events to Birmingham. We have a few lined up and are yet to pick venues for 2014 so we plan to make the most of it!
With a series of venue tours and lectures over two days, it should be a great way to find out more about the options and even though we know Birmingham well, venues are continually changing so its great to keep up to date.
As soon as November hits we always start thinking Christmas (and why not?!) and one of the first events on our festive calendar is the Birmingham Press Club Christmas Lunch on Tuesday 3 December, with one of Britain’s favourite comedians – national
treasure Joe Pasquale!
Press Club chairman Ed James said: “Joe is well-known for being one
of today’s hardest-working and top-selling comedians and we are thrilled
that he has been able to accept our invitation. The Christmas lunch is
always one of the highlights of the Press Club year – and with Joe there
this year will be no exception.”
Joe, who will made a Life Member of the Press Club in recognition of
his professional achievements and support to the media industry, is this
year appearing in the pantomime spectacular Sleeping Beauty at the
Grand Theatre, Wolverhampton, which runs from December 7 until January
18.
With a 20-year career of live stand-up tours behind him, and a
television pedigree stretching back to 1987, when he first appeared on
New Faces, Joe has amassed enough stories to write a best-seller. And
that’s just what he is doing at the moment – writing his autobiography.
If he can find the time to finish it, that is, for his schedule is
pretty much non-stop at the moment.
As the “voice” of a number of TV and
film characters, a star in touring theatrical productions, game show
host, winner of I’m A Celebrity….Get Me Out of the Jungle, and a
competitor in ITV’s Dancing on Ice, Joe is now – not surprisingly –
developing into a real-life action man! For having qualified as a pilot
and taken up boxing and running, he has also competed in a celebrity
edition of Total Wipeout, attempted to smash the “most amount of martial
arts throws in a minute on Guinness World Records Smashed and completed
the Virgin London Marathon for Diabetes UK.
Also in Birmingham the same week is the Birmingham Publicity Association Christmas Party which we've not been too for a couple of years, but if our livers will allow, we might try and make it this year!
Its that time of year again where all BPA Members get together and have a good
old party! This year their legendary Christmas bash will be themed 'Snow
Business' and will take place at Villa Park on
Friday 6th December, Boasting a whole lot of food, drink and some of
the best entertainment you could imagine, the not-to-be-missed party
will kick off at 12.30pm, with the after party going on until the early
hours at Fleet Street Kitchen, Summer Row.
So a real Birmingham blast this week! Enjoy and have a good week!
