Christmas Lunch 2023

What a phenomenal success the AWTE Christmas Lunch 2023 has been this year, once again the perfect start to the festive season.

The feedback has been quite overwhelming. From the incredible band, the delectable food and flowing drinks, the amazing venue and not forgetting the incredible 360 Photobooth.

However, none of this would have been made possible without the support of our incredible sponsors, our amazing members and the wider travel community.

Thank you for helping to make this an incredible event, and after a few days off, we will start work on crafting the 2024 Christmas Lunch and Awards.

Here are a few memories from the day...
