Hello FBC’ers!

It’s getting close… Four days to go! I hope you’re as excited as we are! It’s going to be a blast; delicious food, great topics covered, fantastic goodie bags and much more.

The RSVP response for the first FBC has been tremendous- So far we have 70 confirmed attendees and it is truly international in scope! There are only 10 more seats left, so if you know anyone else that would like to come, or want to help spread the word, then feel free to do so. The last day to RSVP is this coming Wednesday the 25th. They can visit www.rsvpit.com and enter the event code: 2009 along with their details.

To ensure the event is every bit of a success for you, we have come to the decision that it would be best to extend the event by thirty minutes to ensure the speakers are not being rushed and that they are able to cover as much information as possible for your benefit. This means that the event will end at 5:30 P.M versus 5:00 P.M.

We sincerely apologize if this has caused any inconvenience.

The event is being held at Levant Restaurant on Saturday, November 28th, 2009 from 1:00 P.M – 5:30 P.M. The restaurant address is 76 Wigmore Street, London W1U 2SJ. The nearest station is Bond Street Tube and is about a 3-5 minute walk. The restaurant is located directly opposite Costa Coffee. You can view this map for more information. Should you require further information or get lost along the way, then please contact the restaurant at 020 7224 1111.

The payment of £30 will be due upon arrival. Please try your best to bring the exact sum in cash so that we don’t eat into the conference time. However, credit card payments will be accepted.

Please be sure to arrive on time. Unfortunately, we cannot wait for everyone to arrive in order to begin the event, so do ensure you allow sufficient time for your travels.

As some of you may already know there are on-going tube closures- I highly recommend you visit the Transport for London website and plan your journey accordingly.

Don’t forget a notepad and pen… there will be loads of useful information you will want to jot down. Also, please feel free to bring your cameras with you. We are always in need of photos to publish on the website after the event.

If for any reason, your plans have changed and you are no longer able to attend, please reply to this email and let us know. We greatly appreciate your courtesy in this matter.

A group of food bloggers are also organizing a Foodlovers Marylebone VIllage Walk for Sunday, November 29th, 2008. We will be meeting at Baker Street Tube station at 11:30 a.m and walking to the market from there. If you are interested in participating do let us know!

Please do not hesitate if you have any more questions!

Much love from the FBC Committee.
