On the 19th of August Emerging ACE held its annual Riverboat cruise and BBQ. This event has rapidly become E ACE's "flag-ship event" (pun intended) with over 80 people joining us for the cruise on the Thames from a variety of different businesses from within the industry.

We set off from Westminster Pier aboard the King Edward, an intimate party boat split over 2 floors. The predicted rain didn't appear so party goers were able to stand out on deck taking in the sights as we headed West, first towards Putney and then, East to Greenwich.

After a gap of several years ACE is to launch two new awards – to be presented at the ACE Press Awards in March 2011 – specifically geared towards the Regional Press;

• DAILY REGIONAL NEWSPAPER OF THE YEAR
• WEEKLY REGIONAL NEWSPAPER OF THE YEAR

ACE recognises that current market conditions – which have affected all sectors and areas of the business are such that the traditional measures of circulation success (the growth and vigour of circulation volumes) may not now always be the best measure of success. Therefore these new awards will measure and reward such qualities as INITIATIVE, CREATIVITY and ENDEAVOUR.

Summer Pie 2010Marriot Worsley – Flixton Cricket & Sports CLUB Tuesday 13th July 2010.

Thanks to the tremendous support for this event from all the host companies 39 golfing trade friends and colleagues played the greens of the chosen new venue for 2010.

An enjoyable day was had by all who attended, the comments indicated that there was no real disappointment when comparing the course to Mottram Hall.

A buffet lunch was provided in the club house on arrival before guests played the first tee.

If golf was not your game and you chose bowls or cricket, guests were taken to Flixton Sports & Cricket club were they play their chosen sport.

Again a buffet lunch was provided on arrival before the serious side of the day began.

The weather was very kind to those that attended the 2010 Poole ACE / Old Ben Fishing Festival.

12 Boats left the harbour on what was a dry mild Dorset day.

Thankfully several boats did manage to find fish, others were not so lucky but a good day was had by all that ventured out. The event sponsors “Pulp Friction” were very much in evidence as their staff handed out baseball caps bearing their company name to everyone at the registration point.  On the boats return, cloth branded goodie bags were given out to all containing a pen-stress cube – note pad – pen etc plus an umbrella.
