Whether it is an in-house training session, a sales meeting away from the regular office distractions or, a fully marketed training day or seminar you wish to present, we are here to assist you by offering all the necessary support. We are able to provide our Clients with a somewhat unique and tranquil space with stunning views over the Upper Bittell reservoir, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.   In the summer months, weather permitting, a waterside grassed area is available for break outs, mid session breaks and lunchtime, and for days earlier or later in the year, there’s a real open fire with a supply of logs for burning.  There is also a gas powered fan assisted room heater.

The sketch above by local artist Nick Day shows the venue laid out for a small seminar in "boardroom" style with white board and projection screen.  The log burning fire to the left behind a safety guard and through the large window at the far end of the room, a view across the 80 acre Upper Bittell reservoir.  Click the image for a larger version which opens in a separate window, to be closed after viewing. (Please note : all images are copyright BGSC and the sketches are copyright Nick Day, artist, Alvechurch, Worcestershire.

Our catering facilities can provide a choice of menus ranging from sandwich platters, hot and cold finger buffets to a full 2 / 3 course lunch menu to select from. Coffee and a variety of teas and soft drinks are always available.

Our Coordinator is available to meet with you and discuss your specific requirements, to enable us to plan your event accordingly and carry out the advanced arrangements, thus ensuring you concentrate on your own preparations. Our Coordinator will also be available throughout the day of your event, to overcome any unexpected issues that may arise.
