Social Activities
As well as being dedicated to the business interests of its members, BITA also takes care of their social needs with two of the brightest fixtures in the Materials Handling Social Calendar.
BITA Golf Day
September each year sees the BITA Golf Day, which provides an ideal opportunity for BITA members to show off their manual dexterity in an 18-hole Stableford, while also exercising their '19th hole' networking skills! After a day of relaxing play, participants convene for a clubhouse prize-giving dinner to celebrate the day's successes in a light-hearted and convivial atmosphere.
The next BITA Golf Day will be held on 9 September 2008 at Moor Hall Golf Club, Sutton Coldfield. Contact BITA now to secure your attendance. In the meantime, see our report of the 2007 BITA Golf Day.
BITA Ball
The BITA Ball takes place every year in the evening following the BITA AGM. It provides an excellent opportunity to blend business with pleasure in the company of partners and colleagues at a Black Tie event.
The evening warms up with a drinks reception, then begins formally with the handing over of BITA's Chain of Office from the outgoing President to the new incumbent appointed (along with the other BITA Board members) during the preceding AGM.
Following a banquet meal there is cabaret style entertainment and a charity auction. Finally, there's a chance to dance until the small hours accompanied by a live band and disco.
The 2008 BITA Ball took place on 9 May 2008 -- click here to see a brief report and photos.
The 2009 BITA Ball will take place on Friday 24 April in the Holiday Inn hotel, Stratford-upon-Avon -- please note this slightly earlier date in your diaries!
Invitations will be issued towards the end of 2008, but in the meantime, please contact the BITA office for more information.
