Join us for our traditional annual dinner held with the Czech British Chamber of Commerce at the May Fair Hotel, Stratton Street, London (nearest underground Green Park).

This highlight in the BCSA calendar is a wonderful opportunity for Slovaks, Czechs and Britons to mingle in a convivial atmosphere, to meet old friends and make new ones.

Members and non-members alike will be made welcome at a drinks reception, enjoy a three-course dinner with wine and hear the results of our annual writing competition. There will also be a raffle with a chance to win a long weekend for two (including flights) in the High Tatras, Slovakia at either the Hotel Hills or the Horizont Resort donated by Jan Telensky. Or perhaps three nights half board at Nové Lázně in Mariánské Lázně, CR and closer to home two nights bed & breakfast in the Buxton Crescent Hotel both kindly donated by Ensana.

If you are a newcomer to the BCSA or to London, we would like to extend a special invitation and welcome you into our friendly community. Kindly note that you may request seating at a table with your friends.

Keynote speaker: Lord Dubs

In 1939 Alfred Dubs, aged six, left his native Czechoslovakia for England by train arranged by Sir Nicholas Winton. In 2021 with the restoration of his Czech citizenship, he became the first Czech-British member of the House of Lords.

Over the years he has lobbied tirelessly on behalf of refugees and asylum seekers. In 2020 he proposed an amendment to the Immigration Bill which would give safe passage and sanctuary to 3,000 unaccompanied children in Europe to come to the UK to join a family member already seeking refugee status. It was supported by the House of Lords but defeated in the House of Commons.

Guest of honour: H.E. Robert Ondrejcsák, Ambassador of Slovakia to the United Kingdom.

Tickets: BCSA members £ 75.00, non-members £87.50, full-time students £55.00 via Eventbrite link below.
