I wasn't invited. I am still just a humble County Council employee (at Corporate Director level). But tomorrow morning I have no doubt my confidantes will fill me in on the 'hard' work done at Ashton Court by the Extended Management Team of SouthWest One - all 150 of them (that's 75 complete rubber chickens if they end up with one leg each)! There are other, closer, venues. But this is the place to be seen. SouthWest One is a whole year old - plus just a couple of days. And, my oh my, what a year. We have had to revise some of our plans - that was inevitable. Perhaps we will save £50 million less than we thought we would. So what. HBOS got the sums wrong too. And Bradford & Bingley. And Ashton Court Manor does not come cheap. Tonight I will raise a glass to the superhuman efforts of the whole SouthWest One workforce and peruse the timetable of what must have been an awe-inspiring event. Aspirins at dawn, gentlemen (and ladies)!
