MAGB Annual Lunch Presentation to Guests

David Wilkes – Chairman 3rd November 2015

Last year we announced an intended change in Luncheon format

• In 2014 we undertook a review of MAGB activities:
• Re-confirmed the scope and detail of the key areas of focus

for the Association

• Decided to consider a change to the annual lunch
• We originally considered relocating the lunch outside London to

be held in the summer to include “field” activities but decided London was more convenient for guests

• We did however decide to change the format:
• Have introduced pre-lunch presentations for guests
• Have extended the invite list to include:
• Association guests
• Individual member guests associated with the supply chain
• Your post-event feedback would be appreciated
