Courvoisier - Drinks & After Dinner Party Sponsor

0 Comments - Add comment Written on 04-May-2008 by londontube

COURVOISIER has enjoyed an international reputation for producing the finest Cognacs for centuries.

This reputation is well earned. Everything about the production and crafting of COURVOISIER® Cognac ensures the highest possible quality, that many consider perfection.

COURVOISIER has a traditional French Cognac heritage, but it also has many colourful and opulent associations. Throughout its early history, COURVOISIER was the official supplier to the Imperial Courts and is known as the Cognac of Napoleon.

It is also the only Cognac to be awarded France’s highest award for excellence – the Prestige de la France – in recognition of its outstanding quality.

COURVOISIER® Cognac has therefore earned the right to the ultimate respect.

We will be providing COURVOISIER® cocktails at the After Dinner Drinks party & our mixologist will show how he makes them. There will also be samples of COURVOISIER in the goody bags.

This list of supporters and friends is incomplete as we're still getting sponsors coming in every day. So watch this space & come back after the event to see the full list.

MOO is a printing company. We print beautiful products, using images you've uploaded directly, or designs from our designer galleries. If you're curious and you'd like to know more about the company, we've written about that over here. If you're a journalist and you'd like to write something nice about us, then the press section is for you.

MOO will be giving a discount to all participants & judges plus some postcards to five winners who can turn a recipe of their choice into some very nice recipe cards.

Justgiving We look after thousands of fundraising pages and build social tools that make it easier for people to raise lots of money for their favourite charities. We’ve been doing this for over seven years, which in internet-years makes us wise and distinguished. So if you’re wondering what this Justgiving thing is all about, you’re in the right place. Justgiving's blog will also show highlights from Jon & Kai who are participants in Nom Nom Nom

Crips are all the things you love about traditional crisps, but better. We bake them with just a suggestion of sunflower oil and heaps of natural flavour for a tasty crunch with nearly four times less fat than potato crisps. Designed to appeal to health-conscious crisp lovers with an appetite for something special, Crips have been voted number one in independent tests…beating leading-brand low-fat snacks Walkers Baked, Kettle Baked, Snack-a-Jacks and Ryvita Minis on taste, texture and appearance.

Divine Chocolate Divine is the Fairtrade Chocolate Company co-owned by the cocoa farmers cooperative Kuapa Kokoo in Ghana, who not only receive a fair price for their cocoa but also share in the company's profit. New Divine Mini Cookies, Muffins and Brownies will be available in Waitrose nationwide from 19th May 2007!

Liberation The farmers and gatherers who provide the nuts for Liberation products own 42% of the company, so they care about selecting the best nuts for you to enjoy. Their ownership of the company means they have a real say in decisions the company makes and will receive a share of the profits when a dividend is paid. With Liberation the nuts are bought direct from the farmers, so no one in the middle takes a slice of the money.

Everything Nice
