3rd July - Charity dinner

The Annual Dinner of the Institute's London Branch has in the past been an iconic and hugely successful evening in the City shipping events calendar with up to a thousand guests attending, raising significant sums for charities.  We are hoping this year to resurrect this event, and launch it as a regular on the London fund raising scene. This is a wonderful opportunity for the Institute to support the OSCAR Campaign at Great Ormond Street as well as giving our members a prestigious event through their branch.

There will be an auction to raise funds for OSCAR, a 17 piece orchestra, cocktails and wonderful food.

We have a discounted rate for a table of ten, and whilst we aren't seeking corporate sponsorship, we'd be delighted if your company would be willing to take a table.
