A short working week last week, with the Memorial Day holiday on Monday. Memorial Day and Fleet week are big events in the life of one of our most important New York Partners, the Intrepid museum, with whom we work closely on veterans issues.
Welcome to Yorkshire have been busy promoting Yorkshire as great place for a holiday. Their clipper "Hull and Humber" has been in New York, the latest destination on a round-the-world race. Anybody taking a yellow cab in New York for the next few days will see their advert running on the taxi TV screens.
Another British export to New York is rugby. Really. 52 teams from New York City’s Public Schools will compete for the Mayor’s Cup on Saturday 5 June. PS 218 represents the British hopes. If you’re near Randalls Island and want to find out what rugby is/looks like, this is your chance.
And a plug for British music- Ronnie Scott’s jazz club is celebrating its 50th anniversary at the Birdland Jazz club on 15 June.
Finally, if you are a British national living in New York please do consider registering with us through Locate– in an emergency, it makes it much easier for us to give consular assistance.
