It was another joyful event, as members, partners, patrons, and industry friends gathered at the lovely Beaumont Estate in Windsor, for this year's BSC Summer Lunch.
The event always provides a relaxed and informal setting and we are usually blessed with glorious weather. This year was no exception and guests were able to enjoy a sparkling reception in the beautiful gardens.
