AUGUST/SEPTEMBER
2004 BROADSHEET - Annual Garden Party
Annual
Garden
Party
There was a celebratory feel to the CETC’s annual
garden party, held on the evening of 5 August in the beautiful setting of
Jesus
College
and enjoyed by almost 100 attendees in glorious weather.
Valerie
Dring MBE of NatWest gave the evening an excellent start, by presenting the Club
with a sponsorship cheque for £1,000. Chairman
Roy Cuthbert thanked NatWest for its significant financial support and also
thanked the Club’s events sponsors,
St John’s
Innovation Centre and TWI.
Mr Cuthbert, who is the MD of Webtec Products, explained to the audience
about the change of name from the former Cambridge Europe & Technology Club
(as had been agreed at the Club’s AGM) and about the Club’s new ambitions.
He then received a silver salver, to mark his 10 years of service on the
CETC Committee, presented to him by the CETC’s founding Chairman, Dr Malcolm
Wilkinson, MD of Technology For Industry.
Dr
Wilkinson himself and another long-serving CETC member, Tony Hooley, the CEO of
1Limited, also received gifts in acknowledgement of their contributions to the
Club over the years. Club President,
Walter Herriot OBE, then offered some business views, in his usual trenchant and
perceptive way. Other thanks were
offered by the typically humorous Hon Secretary, Guy Mulley from NW Brown Group.
Guests
stayed until long after dusk, taking the chance both to network and to listen to
the music of the Cambridge University Brass Ensemble.
