Hi All,

It's short notice, I know, but I've got two VIP Press Invitations to the launches of the new products at 8.30am in Central London on the 8th May (that's this Thursday).  I've been called away on business and cannot cancel, so I've contacted B&O's PR Company and asked if I can ask a BeoWorld Member plus one guest to represent me.  I'd like to throw this open to Silver or Gold Members as a thank you for supporting the site if i may.

Yourself and a guest will be representing BeoWorld - and in return you'll be asked by myself to do an online review of the products here on site for us all to digest!  It doesn't have to be as "belt and braces" as my reviews, but something interesting and informative is required!

This is an example of the last review I wrote.. NEW PRODUCTS

You will be one of the very first people to see the new products along with the Tech Press and various Journalists and Bloggers from National Magazines, Newspapers and Online Channels in attendance.  This is a Bang & Olufsen "Invitation Only Event" and is not open to the general public.  

Breakfast and drinks will be provided, and if past launches are anything to go by, the goody bags are phenomenal !!

HERE is where the launch will be taking place. 

Please email me in the first instance and we can take it from there.  Dress will be smart or smart/casual.

Well, as there were no other takers, I've just arranged with Lee and the B&O PR people for me to go tomorrow.

I'm travelling on the first flight from Basel/Mulhouse airport on the border of Switzerland and France and hope to be there before the event finishes!  It will be very tight time-wise as it starts at 08.30am and only lasts 1 hour!  I've been planning train, tube and walking distances to minimise my travel time.  I hope I can do the event justice.  If I'm too late, atr worst I get a day in London.

This was an awesome offer from Lee and huge thanks to him for the opportunity and for B&O for being so helpful at short notice.

My hearing aids are batteried up and I'm raring to go.  I'll post feedback as soon as possible afterwards (probably Friday).

Dave.

I expected a load of people had emailed Lee personally. I'd have upgraded my account and gone if I'd known - I even work for the press, too. My colleagues will be there (but, as you'd expect, as they are editorial, they get the press invites).

Oh well, hope you manage to report back from the event and let us know your thoughts on the new products.

I don't think anyone else had contacted Lee from what he said.  I was surprised as I though more local members would be snapping his hand off.

I probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

I live locally, I should have asked :-(

Anyway, I will only have a few hours more to wait as I am invited in the evening to a shop demo. Will probably last longer than 1 hour!

I do hope you enjoy it - B&O are superb hosts and very friendly. I went to the BV11 launch with Lee and it was excellent. On call tomorrow and not going to the launch as it would be a rush. I have however got the user manual.....

I am truly impressed.

I (very briefly) considered the possibility and then came up with a load of very plausible reasons why I couldn't possibly go. And I only live 180 miles from London! You have shamed me.

I hope you have a really wonderful time and I look forward to reading about the experience.

Dave, you're a star. Leaving that opportunity unused would've been the Beoworld botch-up of the year.

And I procrastinated for days over whether I'd go to the Finnish launch later in the evening - and I live less than 1 km away from that store...

You should still try to work a miracle !
