Less than 100 days to go – The Olympic Torch arrives at America Square Conference Centre
Now that we are approaching the closing few months and as the nation counts down to London 2012, here at America Square we had the G4S Conference, addressing the securityfor the games here yesterday.
The event had many exhibitors. The Royal Mint ( giving away some of the Olympic 50 pence’s, I was fortunate to be given one of the atheltic coins for my son, he now has 7, only another 20 to go !.), Transport for London, plus many more.
But the best part of the event was having the Olympic Torch here, under strict supervision,we felt very privileged to be able to touch it . It has 8000 holes, one for each person who will be carrying it. Please let us know if you are one of the lucky ones.
Check out Cavendish Conference Venues Face book page and you will see a photograph of the torch with Elizabeth, Business Development Manager and Valeria, Operation Manager.
So what can we say from America Square Conference Centre to Athens the torch will go. A lasting memory of the 2012 Olympicsfor all the team here at America Square Conference Centre.
Today we have The 10 th National Conference on Current issues in Midwifery, no two two days are the same. This is why we all love working her at America Square, variety is the spice of life…..

It is unfotunate in this day of austerity that there is so much to make up and ‘fix’ in our society. The thoughts of what it is gong to cost us, the tax payers, is unsurmountable however, for the faults of the few, many of us will have to suffer drastic cuts in our standards of living and life style for years to come. There are tough decisions for tough times that have to be made and no matter what those decisions there will be people who will not be happy with the outcome. The NHS is a point in question and I certainly would not like to be the one having to decide what and how to cut billions from our Health Service, however we did have the Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, at the Cavendish Conference Centre speaking about the tough decision and times that lie ahead!

The View From Here – as seen by Bobby, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and General Dogsbody, CCV South West Regional Office
Back From My Hols!
Yes, just back home after a few months away from operational duties and what larks I’ve had ! SW Rep had been threatening to send me away to Doggy Borstal, but thankfully relented and instead I’ve been living in a home away from home with my very own pack, learning the social skills I’m told I need with regard to co-existing with other dogs. To celebrate my new pacifist lifestyle, SW rep and Steve took me on an exciting walk along the South West Coastal path. Sporting my new Hannibal Lecter style muzzle, fellow walkers scattered when they saw us coming (a most pleasing result, SW rep said). We stopped at a wayside pub for a pint, lovely sunny day, sitting outside in nice garden, all was harmony. Steve spotted what he called a “midget greyhound”. Midget greyhound’s companions overheard and protested. Well, who has ever heard of an Italian greyhound anyway. It was poncing around in a diamante collar, surrounded by admiring children, who took no notice of me at all So I levered myself up onto a chair when no-one was looking (quite a feat, since I’ve put on so much weight that I ‘m told I now resemble a large white slug) and crossed my back legs in the manner that SW Rep says looks so charming and which never fails to draw admiring glances, and still…. nothing .
Nearing home, SW Rep commented that I’d behaved pretty impeccably and that sending me away to a holiday home had obviously been a Very Good Thing. Within moments, I spotted a herd of sheep, and the ensuing fun and games I had rounding them up made my day complete.

In April Cavendish Conference Centre will host a major conference in which Andrew Lansley the Heath Secretary will attempt to achieve a consensus as to how his controversial health care bill will be implemented. The minister will be joined by many of the other major actors in this ongoing drama, including the NHS Commissioning Boards chairman and the regulator (Monitor) chairman David Bennett.
The venue lends itself perfectly to this type of event: right in the middle of London’s traditional ‘medical land’ is ideal, meters from Florence Nightingale’s original hospital. In addition the possibility of exclusive use by one client is perfect for these type of high profile and potentially controversial events.

It is the 1 topic we all talk about and great to see when an event that has so much to talk about and is so controversial in so many ways can attract such a big following! CCV hosted a massive Pay related Conference and as ususl the delegates were standing in the aisles, waving their flags and bemoaning the usual Government stipulatiosn when it comes to what we get paid and what we go home with….. always an interesting topic! Cheers
