AITS Sponsored Luncheon in The Long Room, Lords Cricket Ground
Dear Rodger
Thank you so very much for your excellent contribution to the Lords lunch last week. I must say that you were excellent and even better than last year !! I had many comments from other guests too, who enjoyed your manner and professionalism - and the research you did on our guest speaker was "spot on".
The Lunch proved so successful that our main sponsors have already committed to another event next year...
So keep your diary clear for mid-June ! Best Regards,
Mike Adams (The Gang of 3)
Match Sponsor, Sir Bobby Robson Suite
.... Most of all, I would like to thank John Wark for being so friendly and welcoming and to Rodger Oatley who did so much to put us at ease and was a lovely chap to chat with! I think in our giddiness we forgot to thank Rodger personally afterwards, but he deserves many thanks!
It was a special, special day, so thank you again!
