A second highly successful event was held at Number 11 Downing Street on Tuesday 4 February, attended by almost 100 Guild members.<\/span><\/p>

The first event, which took place on Thursday 28 November was a huge success and heavily oversubscribed. As so many members were left disappointed, we decided to get in touch with the Chancellor\u2019s Office and see if it was possible to run a second event. Thankfully they agreed \u2013 but we had to act quickly as the Harrison displays were due to be returned to the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, very soon.<\/span><\/p>

A date for the second event was initially set for Monday 3 February and everyone was duly invited. However, this date had to be moved fairly last minute to the next day as the State Room was unexpectedly needed for official business.<\/span><\/p>

The members who had already been invited were very understanding, as were the speakers Jonathan Betts and Andrew King, who had kindly agreed to repeat their talks.<\/span><\/p>

Paul Roberson, the main organiser, said: \u2018We felt it was such a shame that half of those who had applied to come originally couldn\u2019t go to the first event because of a restriction on numbers.<\/span><\/p>

\u2018By holding a second event, almost\u00a0 all of those who initially applied, are now able to attend.<\/span><\/p>

\u2018It is a once-in-a-lifetime event and we wanted as many people as possible to be able to experience that.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
