Danish-UK Chamber of Commerce Summer Cocktail Party “Despite our Nordic heritage, we do thrive best in the warmth of summer.” Summer brings that energy and light we have all been missing during the winter. We, as northern Europeans, tend to take extra joy in spending every bright hour of the day outside, in our gardens, in cafés or wherever there is life and good company. DUCC and H.E. the Ambassador of Denmark, Mr. Birger Riis-Jørgensen thus take great pleasure in inviting our members and guests to the DUCC SUMMER COCKTAIL PARTY AT THE AMBASSADOR’S RESIDENCE on 8 July 2009 The Summer Cocktail Party is one of the highlights of our social calendar and it provides the opportunity to meet with fellow members in beautiful surroundings and enjoy the view from the roof terrace. Although in the centre of Knightsbridge, you will have a rare and unique opportunity to overlook one of the greenest spots in London, Cadogan Place. Come and enjoy when summer finally hits our part of the globe and take a well deserved break from the long and cold winter.
The Summer Cocktail Party begins at 6.30 pm and you can sign up on info@ducc.co.uk
