Summer Party, Wimbledon or World Cup?

It was surely a tough choice for some: the All-England Championships, the Football World Cup or the Research Network Summer Party? But on Wednesday 1st July, over 60 members and guests chose to spurn the sport and enjoy instead the party atmosphere at Doggetts Coat & Badge.

They were well rewarded. The sun (contrary to some forecasts) shone on the pub’s roof terrace, the river played host to some terrific views, and Doggetts served up a great barbecue lunch. Evidence of all of which is abundant in the photos that are available now on the Network’s website.

We are extremely grateful to Momentz by Izzy for taking the pictures.

Thanks go not only to the weather gods but also, at a slightly more temporal level, to Jane Bain, Jane Gwilliam, Gill Wareing and to the venue’s manager and staff. And some of those attending even got home in time for the football…
