FRIESE GREENERY - THE GREAT OUTDOORS!
Client secret garden no longer a secret!
For some time there have been building works in the rear garden at Friese-Greene House, which are now complete. This has released
the area for use by all of you, and this includes BMC clients from 68 Middle Street 21-22 Old Steyne as well as
from 15-17 Middle Street.We are keeping the rear door open all day whenever weather allows, and there are some chairs and a table there already. We would like to encourage any clients to use this rather delightful space: - take your lunch out there. - when feeling like a break from their desk, for anyone who wants some fresh air and a bit of greenery. - for those who smoke, it is off the street, and will avoid smokers hanging around the main entrance. - for informal meetings and such-like events - possibly even barbecues! (Ask the Site Manager first!) We will be undertaking a series of improvements to the garden, with plants and shrubs, more chairs and tables, and possibly some kind of weather-resistant structure so that it can be used even in the rain and cold. We think it will come to be a well-used retreat from the office for all of you! |

Dhafer Youssef - outstanding Tunisian-born singer and oud player from the Sufi tradition
The Burning Bush - mystical and celebratory music from the Jewish tradition
Soname - haunting mountain songs from Tibet
Black Voices - all-female a cappella Gospel group
Baluji Shrivastav - sitar master
- plus a host of local musicians from different faith traditions.
