On a personal note, it was enormously satisfying working with each of these families, watching our community work together, share their heritage, having fun and pull off a magnificent day.

Mother’s Day Breakfast

We invite you to join us at our first Mother’s Day breakfast on Wednesday 3 May in the function room at Milanos Brighton, with beautiful views across the water. 

 

We will start at 8.15am with a glass of sparkling, muesli and yogurt, and service hot breakfast shortly after.  We have a wonderful speaker joining us for 9.00am.  If you are working that day, we hope you can join us and leave as you need to for a slightly later work start.
