TALKING VENUES NEWSLETTER Wow where has the year gone? It’s been a little while since our last newsletter and I am delighted to advise you of a few changes. Firstly after 21 years VMS has changed its name from Venue Marketing Service to VMS Event & Conference Logistics. It was certainly a huge decision to make however in the end we decided the new name reflects exactly what VMS does and that’s supports you with your Event & Conference Logistics.Moet Chandon Winner

East Sail & IHG
East Sail along with IHG invited Mike & I out for a sail on Sydney Harbour. The weather was menacing when we “geared up” and set sail from Rushcutters Bay. After a ½ hour boat familiarization (which side is what etc…) we launched into the first race with our fearless leader at the helm (see photos on facebook), won the start and slowly pulled away to comfortably win the first race. After the second race we boarded the East Sail cruiser for canapés and drinks. What a great way to spend an afternoon for team building and/or simply having fun. Our thanks to Mark & Maggie for looking after us so well.
