Just a quick line to thank you and all the team at CCC for the excellent day we had with you yesterday. Everything ran very smoothly indeed; the delegates, speakers and exhibitors were all very happy with the event, as were we. All your staff were very helpful and attentive throughout the day, which helped us immensely and a number of delegates and speakers commented on how much they liked the venue.
I will be happy to forward a summary of the feedback we received from the delegates about the venue when we have had time to go through all the evaluations.
As you know, it is not often that we run an event of this size, but we would be more than happy to return to CCC with any larger events in the future.
Thank you again for looking after us.

Thank you for your email. I have completed the online survey but wanted to follow up with an email expressing our deepest thanks for all your colleagues did for our conference on Friday. It was our inaugural conference for all our facilitators (educational consultants who are based around the country). They were very impressed with the venue and the staff. In particular I would like to express my thanks to Denis who is an absolute star!!

The broad church that is the happy Cavendish family is indeed large. Today we host the 4th Annual Umrah Tourist market. I have to confess that with my narrow euro centric view I had no idea what Umrah was / is. As I understand it, tourism to the Middle East in particular to Mecca for the Hajj. Public Exhibitions are something we at Cavendish Conference Venues do fantastically well, with stand alone venues superbly located why wouldn’t we?

Having survived the rigours of the world’s largest advertising network hosted in London’s best conference venue we moved seamlessly to London’s happiest conference venue. Following a rigorous assessment process, intensive psychometric tests we passed, and were happy to host the event.
See below for some top tips on becoming happier:

| Ten keys to happier living |
| The Ten Keys are explained in more detail below. Each has a related question to help us think abouthow our activities and attitudes affect our well-being and the well-being of the others around us. |
| Caring about others is fundamental to our happiness. Helping other people is not onlygood for them and a great thing to do, it also makes us happier and healthier too. Givingalso creates stronger connections between people and helps to build a happier society for
everyone. And it’s not all about money – we can also give our time, ideas and energy.
So if you want to feel good, do good! |
| Q: What do you do to help others? |
| Relationships are the most important overall contributor to happiness. People withstrong and broad social relationships are happier, healthier and live longer. Closerelationships with family and friends provide love, meaning, support and increase our
feelings of self worth. Broader networks bring a sense of belonging. So taking action to
strengthen our relationships and create new connections is essential for happiness. |
| Q: Who matters most to you? |
| Our body and our mind are connected. Being active makes us happier as well as beinggood for our physical health. It instantly improves our mood and can even lift us out of adepression. We don’t all need to run marathons – there are simple things we can all do to
be more active each day. We can also boost our well-being by unplugging from
technology, getting outside and making sure we get enough sleep! |
| Q: How do you stay active and healthy? |
| Ever felt there must be more to life? Well good news, there is! And it’s right here in frontof us. We just need to stop and take notice. Learning to be more mindful and aware cando wonders for our well-being in all areas of life – like our walk to work, the way we eat
or our relationships. It helps us get in tune with our feelings and stops us dwelling on the
past or worrying about the future – so we get more out of the day-to-day. |
| Q: When do you stop and take notice? |
| Learning affects our well-being in lots of positive ways. It exposes us to new ideas andhelps us stay curious and engaged. It also gives us a sense of accomplishment and helpsboost our self-confidence and resilience. There are many ways to learn new things – not
just through formal qualifications. We can share a skill with friends, join a club, learn to
sing, play a new sport and so much more. |
| Q: What new things have you tried recently? |
| Have goals to look forward to |
| Feeling good about the future is important for our happiness. We all need goals tomotivate us and these need to be challenging enough to excite us, but also achievable. Ifwe try to attempt the impossible this brings unnecessary stress. Choosing ambitious but
realistic goals gives our lives direction and brings a sense of accomplishment and
satisfaction when we achieve them. |
| Q: What are your most important goals? |
| All of us have times of stress, loss, failure or trauma in our lives. But how we respond tothese has a big impact on our well-being. We often cannot choose what happens to us,but we can choose our own attitude to what happens. In practice it’s not always easy, but
one of the most exciting findings from recent research is that resilience, like many other
life skills, can be learned. |
| Q: How do you bounce back in tough times? |
| Positive emotions – like joy, gratitude, contentment, inspiration, and pride – are not justgreat at the time. Recent research shows that regularly experiencing them creates an’upward spiral’, helping to build our resources. So although we need to be realistic about
life’s ups and downs, it helps to focus on the good aspects of any situation – the glass
half full rather than the glass half empty. |
| Q: What are you feeling good about? |
| Q: What is the real you like? |
| Be comfortable with who you are |
| No-one’s perfect. But so often we compare our insides to other people’s outsides.Dwelling on our flaws – what we’re not rather than what we’ve got – makes it muchharder to be happy. Learning to accept ourselves, warts and all, and being kinder to
ourselves when things go wrong, increases our enjoyment of life, our resilience and our
well-being. It also helps us accept others as they are. |
| Be part of something bigger |
| People who have meaning and purpose in their lives are happier, feel more in controland get more out of what they do. They also experience less stress, anxiety anddepression. But where do we find ‘meaning and purpose’? It might be our religious faith,
being a parent or doing a job that makes a difference. The answers vary for each of us
but they all involve being connected to something bigger than ourselves. |

A New Year and it beggars belief as to where the time has gone! January is nearly ‘done and dusted’ and I am only getting to write my first/second blog! Central London has been a bit quiet lately what with the retail business in a downward spiral however Cavendish Conference Venues are very optimistic and are Centrally located to make it easier for all clients to have access to the retail shops of Central London and as such boost the Retail Industry in our own little way! Here we go for a great 2012 and the very best of luck to all our clients for this 2012 year of the Dragon! Happy New Year!

Cavendish Conference Venues has recently hosted a major Humanitarian Conference on behalf of the Iraqi people.
Hosted at the ICO’s International Confernce Centre in the middle of Londons West End, this event showed how extreme savagery took away the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people and exposed the visciousness of Saddams reign.
The three day event has been supported by the British Government and was well attended on behalf of the Department of Foreign Affairs and many attendees from the Diplomatic and Iraqi Community in London.
Cavendish Conference Venues supported this Humanitarian Event by providing superb facilities including built in translation equipment to accommodate the multi denominations that were in attendance and are delighted to have been a part in exposing to the World how so few can do so much harm to so many!
