Team Osel slipped into their race outfits once again for the 6 hour fundraising endurance event at Buckmore Park International Kart Circuit in Kent. Damon Hill kindly agreed to present the trophies and even took part for a few laps [pictured here seconds before bumping Katie off the track].

Essential remedial works complete at the historic Burlington Arcade. The works were necessary before the refurbishment of this prestigious Arcade commenced later in the year. The remedial works focused on the repair and renewal of the 180m roof including slates, lead work and windows, the cleaning of the internal brickwork through the Arcade, and repair and clean of the stone entrance facades.

The first of two phases of refurbishment commences. The works include repair of historic plasterwork, a new colour scheme derived from historic paint analysis, new lighting, new central pendant lights based on fittings from a photograph taken in 1905, new signage, CCTV, fire alarm and electrical upgrade, new glazing along the entire length of the Arcade and works to various shop units. The refurbishment is a rolling programme due to complete for the grand opening on 1st June 2008.

“THE BURLINGTON ARCADE, usually a haven of peace and decorum, was invaded last month by hordes of glossy canines. The society set turned out in force for the launch of author Victoria Mather’s latest collection of social stereotypes, The Smelly Dog. Guests, including Julian Fellowes, Frederick Forsyth and Nicky Haslam, sipped on the Smelly Dog cocktail (Belvedere vodka, Framboise, elderflower and grapefruit juice). Mini hot dogs were presented on servers containing doggy biscuits, leads, toys and collars.”
