Optical party not to be missed

Seats are selling fast for the optical night of the year - the Optician Awards presentation.

Last year, tickets to the Optician Awards night sold out over a month before the event took place, but this year's Awards are being held in London's prestigious Park Lane Hilton, allowing plenty of room for all those wishing to attend. The black tie event takes place in the Grand Ballroom on the evening of Saturday April 17.

Attendance is open to everyone in optics and not just those who have been shortlisted. If you would like to attend the event and rub shoulders with everyone who is anyone in optics then contact Alma Watson on 020 8652 8026 or log on to www.opticianawards.com. The website also provides a full run down of all those shortlisted.
