Events
The FPA holds four key events each year: the annual FPA Awards and Exhibition, the Environment Seminar, Golf and Activities Day and the AGM. Other events, such as roadshows and webinars, help inform and educate members and facilitate networking.
The association is also a sponsor of the UK Packaging Awards, and partners with Easyfairs for London Packaging Week and Packaging Innovations & Empack (see 'Partner events' below).
We're delighted to invite you, your colleagues, and your customers, to join us on Thursday 11 June for the FPA's Annual Golf and Activities Day, which is taking place at Breadsall Priory Country Club in Derbyshire.
This year, you have two options to choose from:
Golf Day
18 holes of golf within the stunning grounds of Breadsall Priory Country Club, just a 10-minute drive from Derby. We will be following the four-ball better ball Stableford handicap allowance format, but don't worry if you can't make up a team of four – we can help to put one together. Following member requests, and to maximise the business networking opportunities, we have added the option this year to be placed in a mixed team with other guests on the day.
We will be awarding the FPA Golf Winner's Cup for the single highest individual score and an FPA Golf Champions Shield for the winning team – plus the usual competitions for closest to the pin and the longest drive.
Activities Day
Set in the beautiful grounds of Breadsall Priory Country Club we are hosting a fun-filled "Quintessentially English" Activities day. Teams will compete in a series of many challenges, including Axe-throwing, splat -the-rat, welly wanging, tug-of-war, croquet, boules, races and........duck herding. Yes, you read that correctly!
Teams will consist of five members; you can enter a full team of five or be placed in a mixed company team.
An evening barbecue will follow the day's activities giving plenty more networking opportunities.
