Halcyon first Anniversary event April 14th 2011 6.30pm Speaker: Richard Barnes, Deputy Lord Mayor of London At: Smith & Williamson , Bristol

It was just a year ago that a group of LGBT business people in Bristol decided to form a networking group that would help them to promote their business interests in the LGBT market.

Halcyon has run 5 successful events so far, each including a speaker, drinks, canapés and great networking opportunities.

For their first anniversary event, Halcyon will be bringing Richard Barnes, Deputy Lord Mayor of London down to Bristol. During his prominent career Richard Barnes has been a leading figure in a number of high level posts within London. As an openly gay public figure we are sure to hear some interesting insights into his career to date and his leadership story.

The event will be hosted by Smith & Williamson LLP, and the £20 entry price includes drinks and canapés and the opportunity to network with like-minded LGBT business leaders from around Bristol and the South West. Smith & Williamson’s conference suite and balcony enjoys one of the most scenic views in Bristol overlooking the landmark Redcliffe Church.

Special offer! Guest who book their place before the end of March can bring someone who has never been to a Halcyon event as their guest Free of charge! Halcyon will send you a personal invitation to invite your guest.
