Court circuit – Embassy 34


Bill Falora (BMW), Patrick Doyle (IDS) and Alexander Sidoruk (Belarus)

Family Fun
London’s diplomatic families got the royal treatment as they joined the team at BMW Diplomatic Sales for a fun-filled day at Hampton Court Palace, once home to Tudor King Henry VIII and one of his wives, Anne Boleyn. There was plenty to entertain young and old, including mini-golf, croquet, archery, video games and arts and crafts, where children could make their own crowns. And while the kids were occupied, mums enjoyed some indulgence in the pampering corner, and dads could take off for a spin in their choice of BMW. After a meaty medieval BBQ lunch, guests enjoyed a historic tour of the Palace led by King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn and the day ended with a delicious Afternoon Tea and a meander through the famous maze. Congratulations to BMW for staging a fantastic day – let’s hope it becomes an annual event!
