A Picturesque Setting For Your Next Conference

Written by Sylvia Cates

Organising a business conference might not be quite as stressful as planning a wedding ceremony, but it does often require a similarly lavish venue. When it comes to industry success, it seems that appearances are everything. If you're liaising with a big client and they're in two minds as to whether to invest in your company, a conference held in a lavish location can make a very big difference, say the experts at Sundial Group.

It sounds cynical, but it's true. We're all impressed by indulgence - business directors and managers even more so, some would say. Whilst you can always hold your next big conference in a tired, old boardroom in the middle of the city, why not surprise your client and whisk them off to a beautiful venue? 

Visit Amazing Venues website for information and advice on the vast range of corporate venues available throughout the United Kingdom. Here's a guide to some of the most picturesque conference venues in the country.

Colshaw Hall, Cheshire

Colshaw Hall, Cheshire

This beautiful Tudor style manor house is situated deep in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. It was built in 1903 and is now an English Heritage Grade II listed building.
It's privately owned by the Irlam family, who bought the house just over a decade ago.

A few years ago, this family decided that they wanted to share Colshaw Hall with the world. It has been fully restored and is now used as a venue for weddings and corporate events, says journalist Emma Mayoh.

Greek Christmas Traditions

Written by Kate Power

Even though Easter is a much bigger holiday than Christmas for Greeks, it’s still a great time of tradition, but with a twist. Greek Orthodox traditions mingle with familiar festive customs. Where some people decorate a Christmas Tree, lots of Greeks put model ships in their houses, and where gifts are presented on December 25^th in some homes, Greek give gifts on New Year’s Eve.

After a couple of years living in Greece, here are some of the most famous that I’ve heard of:

The Christmas Goblin

I had never heard of these even in my first few years of living in Greece. The kallikantzari are mischievous elves who visit earth for 12 days over Christmas. Their aim is to disturb people; they come out at night to steal food or knock things over. However they are not too effective as far as mischief goes, because usually they can’t agree on anything, so their plans are left on the shelf. In the past, villagers wouldn’t leave their houses after nightfall for fear of running into one of the creatures. On Epiphany (January 6^th), water is blessed and it forces them back underground.

I am a happy, young and enthusiastic photographer who specialises in taking pictures of landscape and wildlife. Though I normally take photos while travelling abroad, I capture Events professionally in Leicestershire and beyond. 

I enjoy bringing my love of nature into my wedding and event photography wherever possible. When shooting portraits, I like to focus on the interplay between people or pets, trying to capture something of a person's spirit that indefinable quality that makes them unique. Visit me at Gray Gordon Photography. 

Whether photography is a hobby or profession, the following tips are essential to improve and master your passion. Remember, just because someone has an expensive camera doesn't mean that they're a good photographer.

• Respect your Environment

Most importantly of all, look after your surroundings. Do not destroy delicate plant life, endanger or frighten an animal just to get a good shot. If you truly value the beauty of your subject, please take the time and care to protect it.

• The Early Bird Catches the Worm

And the early photographer catches the early bird, catching the worm. Be prepared to put yourself out a little if you want to get that stunning shot.  Really, attention-grabbing or thought-provoking shots rarely fall onto your lap, you have to go and look for them.
