Inmarsat Reunited

Q: Why is it necessary to send an email to inmarsatreunited@gmail.com to register when I already have a Google/Yahoo email account?

A: So we have a valid email address for everyone visiting the site and can authenticate them as 'old Inmarsat'. We want to keep the site exclusive to the ‘old dinosaurs’ of Inmarsat and if anyone we don’t recognise self-registers, they will be removed!

Q: When and where will the party take place?
A: On Friday, 2nd October from 6:30 pm onwards in London
Exactly what format the evening will take will depends very much on numbers – but there will be a roof over our heads, some background music, plus drinks and supper. More information will be posted on the website as arrangements unfold.

Q: What is the invitation Criteria?
A: All invitees must have worked for Inmarsat for a minimum of 2 years, during the time it was an IGO. The invitation is only for those who meet this criteria – no spouses, partners, mates or children on this occasion - sorry.

Q: How will word of the party reach all our old colleagues and friends?
A: What we’d like you to do now is spread the word to all of those ex-Inmarsat employees that you are still in touch with. Email, fax, mobile, write or carrier pigeon them with news of the Reunion - ask them to send an email to inmarsatreunited@gmail.com and then we will send them all the instructions to get access to the website.

Q: How will the event be funded?
A: The event will be self-funded – all attendees will be asked to contribute £50.00 per person ahead of the event. Contributions will cover venue hire, food, drinks, etc – once our credit runs out, we’ll revert to a cash-bar. In the unlikely event that there is cash left over at the end of the event, it will be donated to charity.

A special Reunion bank account has been set up to manage in the name of Aldo Novelli and Andy Bell-Smith, who are our Event Treasurers and will monitor and track expenditure.

To confirm your attendance to the event, please write a cheque made payable to Aldo Novelli / Andy Bell-Smith and send it to Jo Kentish, Inmarsat, 99 City Road, London EC1Y 1AX.
Alternatively, you can arrange a BACS transfer using the following account details

Account Name: Aldo Novelli / Andy Bell-Smith

The closing date for confirming your attendance to the event is Friday, 28th August. All payments and transfers must have been made by this date so that venue hire and all other party arrangements can be confirmed, based on the actual number of attendees.

Q: What is the dress code
A: Strictly casual

Q: Who is organising the event?
A: As well as Aldo and Andy looking after the kitty, we have Denison Luz as website developer and event photographer, plus Sharron Wilson and myself on event management. We also have the helping hands of Jenny Ray and Burdy Murray who, of course, know so much about so many people.
