Time Out

Philip Walker runs 10k for Working Families

Philip Walker completed the Asics British 10K London Run 2010 on Sunday 11th July in a time of 51 minutes - one minute faster than last year. There are some before and after photos below

Apparently there were about 30,000 runners. The sun came out strongly for the last half of my run which made for an even redder face than normal but it was a great run - Philip's co-runners came in all shapes and sizes and ages!

Philip raised money for Working Families. Well done from all of us!

 

 

IPF Dinner - June 2010

We were pleased to join the IPF dinner on 23^rd June - the England World Cup match failed to deter an audience of 1000 who were entertained by the topical and very funny Rory Bremner.

 

 

Christmas in Amsterdam

This year we were the guests of our Dutch colleagues who laid on not only a splendid agenda of sightseeing, coffee and the occassional beer, but also a visit by Sintaklaas in the full Dutch tradition.

Sinterklaas appeared to be rather too well briefed about each of us but nevertheless presented us each with a chocolate letter as a gift and went on his way across the roof tops of Holland.

Thanks to Hans, Hans and Antoine for arranging fine weather in addition to the day's activities and to Alex for taking the photos of the day.

Christmas 2009 party in Dusseldorf

Thanks to Rudi from our Munich office, we all met in Dusseldorf for a trip to the Christmas markets and plenty of Gluhwein.

Here are a few snaps from our trip - see if you can recognise the faces.

 

Hans made a jolly Father Christmas, and we were all charmed with the traditional wooden toys and Christmas decorations in the markets. The weather was a bit nippy, but nothing a traditional German feast of pork, potatoes and sauerkraut couldn't handle. We can also heartily recommend the hot chocolate with lashings of cream and a tot of rum that the market traders were providing.

 

 

All work and no play….

We do get out from time to time and this page is where we tell you about our team’s interests, our days out and, of course, our Guide Dog puppy.

Have a look at our bookshelf, too.
