Building on Energy and city centre proposal
Tom Smith, Chairman, ACSEF and Sir Ian Wood
Thursday, May 14 12.15 for 12.30 pm at the RNUC
At this network lunch we are fortunate to have the Chairman of ACSEF, Tom Smith and Sir Ian Wood to present two aspects of the economic development work for Aberdeen City and Shire – the overall strategy and the specific Union Terrace proposal.
Tom Smith, well known to IoD Aberdeen members as former chairman, will focus on the progress that ACSEF is making with implementing the overall strategy set out in “Building on Energy”. Sir Ian Wood will talk about the specific proposal to create a new heart for the Granite City at Union Terrace Gardens. He will also explain why he feels so passionately about this project that he has offered to invest £50 million of his own money in it.
Clearly this is a significant opportunity to gain an insight into plans for the economic future for our region. Please give some thought to questions that you might wish to ask.
Please note: Because there is so much we are trying to cover in this lunch, we will start promptly at 12.30 pm and may run questions a little beyond 2.15 pm.

Visit to Castle Fraser and supper
Thursday, June 4 at 6.30pm
We have a tradition of a summer evening event with the emphasis on the social side. Last year it was Glengarioch Distillery, this year it is the National Trust for Scotland and Castle Fraser.
The evening will start at 6.30 pm with a visit to Castle Fraser, a grand baronial castle dating from the 16th century where we will be given a guided tour. The Castle is reminiscent of a French Chateau filled with family treasures, furniture and interesting family portraits. There are stunning views from the top of the round tower with a clear aspect of Bennachie.
We will then move on to Jaffs Bar and Restaurant at Dunecht, for a two-course supper.
Timing: The tour will start at 6.30 and should last for a hour or so. We will look to arrive at Jaffs at around 8.00 and sit down to supper by 8.30 p.m. We will have a two course meal (either starter and main course or main course and dessert). Drinks before/during the meal and coffee are not included in the price.
Cost: £14.50 per person plus drinks/coffees (payable directly to the restaurant). Entry to the Caste is £5.50 per person (payable on entry). National Trust members visit free of charge.
Getting there: Castle Fraser is 4 miles north of Dunecht and 16 miles west of Aberdeen.
Places are limited so please book as soon as possible by contacting Kathy Matthew at Paull & Williamsons LLP telephone 01224 621621.
