Dear all As you (1) know / are knowing, the annual client hospitality event (2) is fast approaching / will fast approach and, as yet, we (3) did not make / have not made a final decision on where to hold it this year. One or two of you (4) already came forward / have already come forward with suggestions, which (5) are currently considered / are currently being considered, but, as we (6) will have to / are having to make the necessary arrangements quite soon, I'd like everybody's input on this asap. What I particularly (7) want / am wanting to avoid is a repetition of the fiasco we (8) had / have had last year at the showjumping event. Apart from the fact that very few of our clients (9) have / are having even the remotest interest in the sport, the atrocious weather (10) meant / was meaning that we (11) walked / were walking backwards and forwards through the mud between the showring and the hospitality tent all day. The whole thing (12) was / has been a complete disaster. People (13) still complained / were still complaining about it six months later! This year we (14) have planned / had planned to do something more cultural like go to the opera or even a musical, but (15) I've wondered / I've been wondering if this is a good idea. A musical event (16) doesn't seem / isn't seeming to be the best place to network. We can hardly ask the singers to keep the noise down while we all (17) have / will have a good chat! I (18) do think / am thinking, however, that an indoor event (19) makes / is making most sense, so can I ask you to (20) think / be thinking along those lines over the next few days? (21) I've scheduled / I'd scheduled a meeting for next Friday to discuss the matter further. So, (22) I'm speaking / I'll speak to you all then. Charles
