> Below is a copy of the invitation sent to members of the B.I.Engineer Officers Association last week If you were an Engineer or Electrical Officer with B.I. and are not a member of the Association but would like to be please contact me. Membership is free, so come and join the 270+ members of the Association.

> Dear Sir,
> It is my pleasure to inform you that this year's reunion will be held in the Buchanan Suite at the Mercure Glasgow City Hotel, which is situated on Ingram Street, Glasgow. This is our usual venue though the name sometimes changes.
> The reunion date is Thursday 19th September 2013. The cost of luncheon will be £29.00; this is a very competitive price and reflects Alastair's negotiating skills. This does not include wine; any wine ordered will be to your own account.
> 
> The bar in the Buchanan Suite will be open from noon and we will dine at 1.00 pm prompt. The bar will remain open until at least 4.00 pm. In recent years we have been able to use the Buchanan Suite beyond the 4pm deadline, at least until the hotel needs to set up for their evening meal time. Outside these hours there are other bars in the hotel that we can frequent!
> 
> Cheques to be made payable to B.I. Retired Engineer's Association and forwarded, as soon as possible, to our Treasurer Mr Alastair Wells at the address below:
> 
> 51 Belmont Rd
> Kilmacolm
> Renfrewshire
> PA13 4LN
> 
> Please do not send your remittance to me as this will only cause unnecessary delay, you can of course send any other correspondence or enquiries to me. Alastair has to confirm our numbers with the hotel by the 31st August 2013, so it is essential that he receive your cheque by that date.
> We look forward to the wives of members accompanying their husbands joining us after lunch and it goes without saying that any other B.I. staff visiting the hotel will be made very welcome.
> 
> I have negotiated with the Mercure a rate for those who may wish to stay at the hotel. The hotel has offered us rooms at a preferential rate. The hotel is offering us a rate of £82 bed & breakfast for a double/twin room, £72 if single occupancy. If you wish to take up this offer please don't leave it to the last minute, you need to book prior to the 4th September with the hotel. The number for the hotel is 0141 248 4401/0141 314 1074/0844 815 9103. Please quote the date of the reunion and `British India Retired Engineers' as the reference. If there is a query please be advised that I made the arrangement with Gabriella Maltesics at the hotel, Emma Both has also been involved with the booking. 
> 
> Another popular option over the last seven years has been the Campanile Glasgow. Normal room rate is £95.00. They are offering us rooms at £65 bed & Breakfast, £75 for a double (same price as last year). Quote British India Engineer Officer Group as a reference. Telephone 0141 287 7700. Free secure parking. This is my choice again this year and I have already booked.
