OPEN FOR BOOKING
Booking is now open for the 2024 IPF Midlands Annual Dinner.
Ticket Price: £148 + VAT (£177.60 inclusive of VAT @ 20% per person). A table to seat 10 people will be £1,480 + VAT (£1,776 inc. VAT). The ticket price excludes wine and other beverages.
To be fair to all members, tables will initially consist of 10 places only. It may be possible to increase to 12 places closer to the time.
In addition to tables, there may also be a number of individual places for members or members with a smaller number of guests. Where these are accepted, they will be allocated to a Shared Table, the composition of which, in terms of other organisations, cannot be guaranteed.
NOTE: places on shared tables cannot be confirmed until sufficient bookings to fill the table(s) have been received.
This is an extremely popular event, therefore the booking conditions are as follows:
* Bookings can only be taken from IPF members who have renewed for the 2024/25 subscription year.
* Bookings will be accepted on a first come, first served basis in the order of receipt of a signed booking form only. Tables/tickets CANNOT be reserved!
* Organisations wishing to book one table will need to have one IPF member in the Midlands
* Organisations wishing to book two tables will need to have a minimum of three IPF members in the Midlands.
Dress code: Black Tie
Information on how to book is shown below – please read carefully.

Speakers
Marcus Brigstocke
Marcus Brigstocke is a major British comedy talent as writer, actor, presenter, and performer. It’s said he is heard on Radio 4 more frequently than the shipping forecast.
On television Marcus launched The Late Edition, the late night BBC4 answer to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He has hosted and appeared as a panellist on Have I Got News for You. He has also been on Steph’s Packed Lunch, House of Games, The Graham Norton Show and was a team captain on Argumental.
Marcus was the host of I’ve Never Seen Star Wars on both radio and TV, a regular on panel shows from QI to Just a Minute, and has even cropped up on Question Time, Newsnight, and This Week. In The Joy of Techs he met his friend Alexis Conran’s enthusiasm for the latest gadgets with his own tech-scepticism.
BBC Radio 4 has become somewhat of a second home to Marcus with regular appearances on I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, The Now Show, and Just A Minute. He has written and recorded three series and four specials of his hit show Giles Wemmbley-Hogg Goes Off, and co-starred alongside Kerry Godliman, in three series of The Wilsons Save The World.
A fixture at the Edinburgh Fringe, Marcus’ live performances sell out across the country. On the big screen he has appeared in Love Actually, Piccadilly Jim, Telstar: The Joe Meek Story, and Beyond the Sea. He played King Arthur in the hit Monty Python musical Spamalot. His book God Collar, based on his award-winning Edinburgh and West End show, focused on the 'God-shaped hole' that opened up in his life following the death of his best friend, and explored his issues surrounding faith.
He’s even appeared on a No.11 chart ‘hit’ with DJ Dee-Kline - a logical progression from his very brief early career as a podium dancer.
