Stagecoach Annual Conference in Ascot
The 2010 Stagecoach Conference took place from Monday 11th to Tuesday 12th October 2010. Attended by Stagecoach Principals from around the country and abroad, the Conference gave delegates the chance to meet, exchange ideas and catch up on all the latest Stagecoach news from across the network.
Housed in the beautiful Berystede Hotel in Ascot, the two day Conference began on Monday with an evening reception in the Eaton and Windsor Suite. Following a meal guests were treated to a very special performance by the Stagecoach Band (featuring Edward Mercieca, David Sprigg, Rainer Turba, Warren Webley and Matt Wing, with Julia Early, Julia Howson and Allison Malone providing vocals) as well as a very appropriately chosen version of the 'Ascot Gavotte' from 'My Fair Lady' performed with finesse by members of Stagecoach Head Office.
