The SaVVy Club® enjoyed a fantastic pre-season get-together at arguably London’s most exquisite and exclusive setting, The Dorchester Penthouse. From the terrace, we marvelled at the views across the rooftops of Mayfair, whilst enjoying fine wine and canapés served by a host of excellent, highly skilled Dorchester staff – it is such a joy to be served properly by people with respect and immense skill.
Four entrants of The SaVVy Club® Ultimate Events Competition attended and Rebecca Yewdall was presented with a bottle of champagne in special recognition of her entry. Kim announced that the competition would continue in 2008 and that a number of universities planned to incorporate the competition into their curricula.
We also recognised The SaVVy Club®‘s chosen good cause The Mineseeker Foundation and its initiative The Sole of Africa. Sadly, founder Mike Kendrick, the advertising magnate turned ballooning expert and close friend and confidant of Sir Richard Branson (it’s Mike you see on your screen when Sir Richard’s balloon gets lost again) was unable to attend due to a complete telecommunications failure at Mineseeker HQ in Bridgnorth, Shropshire. The SaVVy Club® friend, John L. Evans spoke on Mike’s behalf about his love of ballooning, his fantastic life story (so far) and (movingly) about the work and aims of the foundation.
