BAMI is proud to announce that it will hold three amazing Gala Evenings during the London 2012 Olympic Games. To download the full Olympic Gala flyer Click Here

On each of the three Saturdays of the Games – July 28th, August 4th and August 11th - the greatest of Britain’s Olympic heroes will gather at a Grade 1 Listed venue on Pall Mall, one of London’s most beautiful and historic buildings, to celebrate the most important occasion in our sporting history.

We have chosen the perfect host in Andrew Castle, now an accomplished broadcaster, formerly British number-one tennis player and himself a British Olympian at both the Seoul and Barcelona Games.

Olympic imagery, each of the three nights will have a special theme. There will be the finest wines and the menu will have a unique British flavour to reflect the best in our produce and cuisine. There will be live feeds from the BBC’s broadcast of the Games, we will show highlights of the achievements of our British heroes and a host of entertainers will perform to add extra spice to the gathering.

Saturday July 28th
Meet the Legends

With just 15 tables for 10 guests each, you can spend the evening with at least four of these special people as we rotate them around after each of the four courses of our celebratory dinner. Our host, Andrew Castle, will also interview all the Legends and a DVD highlight of the entire evening will be given to every guest as they leave, along with numerous gifts, mementoes and all the autographs of the Legends and a DVD highlight of the entire evening will be given to every guest as they leave, along with numerous gifts, mementoes and all the autographs of the Legends. It will be a night to remember and no doubt many of you will then walk to Trafalgar Square, just 300 metres away, to enjoy the beating heart of the late-night revelry of the unique Olympic experience.

Two Golden Knights
Sir Steve Redgrave Sir Matthew Pinsent
These two remarkable men are unique in the world of sport and we are proud to  celebrate their astonishing achievements as the finale of our London 2012 Gala Evenings.
Between them, they have accumulated 28 gold medals – 19 world championships and 9 Olympic titles – a record that is unlikely ever to be beaten.
You will enjoy their company throughout the evening as they visit every table and meet all our guests. We will show clips of their Olympic heroics and Andrew Castle will conduct an extensive, but light-hearted, interview with them. A DVD highlight of the entire evening will be given to every guest as they leave, along with numerous gifts, mementoes and all the autographs of the Legends. It will be a night to remember and no doubt many of you will then walk to Trafalgar Square, just 300 metres away, to enjoy the beating heart of the late-night revelry of the unique Olympic experience.
It will be a very special occasion and a fitting end to our  three London 2012 Gala Evenings.
We look forward to welcoming you next summer.
