Season's greetings and round robin

Dear Friends and supporters,

December is a wonderful time of the year when I can wish you all the very best for Christmas, Bodhi Day, Return of the Wandering Goddess, Id al-Fitr, Winter Solstice,  Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yuletide & Saturnalia and a healthy, loving, peaceful and prosperous year 2020.

Thank you for contributing to the success of JFDE.

Here is my round robin of the year: :-)

Please note and see at the bottom of this email my new websites and email addresses.

The Gay Professional Network met regularly this year, it included a reception at the House of Lords hosted by The Lord Scriven of Hunters Bar , various talks by  Sir Stephen Wall, Joseph Galliano,  Andrew Lumsden and dinners and plenty of networking!

In 2020, GPN's 10th anniversary  year,  we kick out the year with Matthew Hodson followed by Pliny Soocoormanee and Peta Cooper, Ed Davies, Carla Ecola, Peter Tatchell, Dan Nouveau, Mark Bunyan, Ian Dodds and Paul Burston.

The Network saw its revival after a few month away  and we had talks by Roland Marsden about China and Kim Rix about Diamonds

In 2020, we kick out with Cedric Torossian about PropTech , Dexter Moscow about 'standing up and sell!' Sandra Shevey about Alfred Hitchcock

I promoted various other events, one of which sadly fell on this blackest of Black Friday.

As an event organiser, I organised and recommended various venues for various events that will remain nameless to protect the privacy of my clients and businesses.

As a catering consultant,  people keep trying to pick my brain so I ask them to pick a time and method of payment:  Good advice saves you bucks  and free advice peanuts. I am well worth the investment.

I came to a sudden conclusion that it is now 40 years that I started Hotel School and started work alongside it.

As Hon. Secretary of the Whitefriars Club,and under the chairmanship of Alessandro Gallenzi  our dinners were graced by the presence, their talks and even songs, in one instance,  of Sir John Tomlinson,  Nigel Newton, Sir Anthony Beevor, Lisa Hilton, Anthony Mc Carten, A.N. Wilson and Kate Mosse .

In 2020 Bee Rowlatt and Richard Stokes are coming to speak to us.

I did a few films but less so now as I travel to and fro Belgium, Wales and London and occasionally to other shores. Check me on http://www.imdb.com/list/ls038032236/ 

My painting is evolving too and you can see some on on http://jeanfrancoisdor.pictures

Season's Greetings!

It remains to me to wish you and your family a wonderful end of year's festivities

Yours ever,

Jean-François.
