Better Bankside is confirming a series of exciting events for this summer taking a huge leap forward from the summer events held last summer. The 2008 programme, in fact, will start in June and run all the way into September, creating an even more vibrant environment for those working and living in the area and allowing local employees and residents to enjoy the (hopefully) hot summer we are all eagerly expecting!  But I've learnt my lesson after last year's cold and windy weather in mind... the programme caters for a summer of rain and wind too!

 

Building on the success of BB's Charity Pancake Day Race, the programme will include early morning tai chi sessions throughout the summer and a week-long boules competition, both supported by the new Bankside Health Club in the Blue Fin Building on Southwark Street.  The Musical Chairs lunch time live music events have morphed into a longer series of live music events supported by Bankside bars and restaurants called Bankside Nights and taking place after work to give you and your colleagues a longer opportunity to enjoy the acts (on account of those who only get half hour lunch breaks and those who just have so much work on that they are chained to their desk throughout their lunch!).

 

Look out for the 'Get the Buzz' summer event leaflets - coming to your reception desks soon!
