Race Day at Del Mar Racetrack
Friday, September 6th, 2024 2.00pm
Del Mar Race track
We had an amazing turn out for First Annual Day at the Races.
We were joined by our friends from BABCOC for an afternoon of sporting action, great food and drink and of course lots of networking opportunities. We could not possibly have done this without our amazing sponsors:
Manchester Utd in San Diego
Wednesday, July 31st, 2024
Manchester United lifted the Snapdragon Cup, at the stadium of the same name, after deservedly defeating Real Betis 3-2 and BABCSD was there to see victory for the British Side!
If you have not been to the recently built Snapdragon Stadium yet you are in for a treat. Home to BABCSD Members San Diego Wave FC, it is a world-class venue and you can be sure BABCSD will be hosting events there for years to come.
Three Lions Euros 2024 Watch Parties
June and July 2024
Location: Hilton San Diego Bayfront, 1 Park Blvd, San Diego CA
We hosted two Euro 2024 “Watch Parties” at the glorious Hilton San Diego Bayfront. We now know that Engald had a fantastic tournament and came within a whisker of lifting the trophy. Our two watch parties were a perfect combination of networking, cheering on the National Team with fellow Brits and remembering how much we love our traditional food. Chef Cooked a Full English Breakfast for one game and Traditional Fish N Chips for the other.
British Airways Double Daily Celebration
Thursday, April 25th, 2024 San Diego
A great night at the fabulous Coasterra Restaurant on Shelter Island to celebrate the start of a second daily non-stop British Airways flight from London to San Diego. The British Consul General Emily Cloke was in attendance, as was Hurbert Frach the VP of Sales North America for British Airways.
Members of the BABCSD enjoyed interacting with local business leaders, representatives of Visit Britain, London & Partners, as well as the leadership team of the San Diego Airport Authority. It is events such as these that will continue to help foster economic growth and drive trade between San Diego and the UK. A second British Airways flight, of course, fits in nicely with that objective!
