From Susan Barber, The Natural History Museum, London
In response to Feedback’s comment on our summer party at the Natural History Museum:
We certainly didn’t intend to offend guests by adding to the Invitation that revered line “please bring a bottle”. Far from it being a grandiose function of corporate style, the party was funded by a small team of five, as a thank you to our scientific colleagues and journalists alike.
This was an informal gathering and the revelry (fuelled by copious amounts of wine) ensured that the party was enjoyed by all, so much so that our colleagues have offered to set aside their scientific research again, so that we can make this an annual event.
In the meantime, in between those evening trips to Paris and lunch at The Lanesborough, we hope our invitation will be reciprocated – and then of course the drinks will be on us.
