Past Mandrake speakers Toby Young and Stephen Bayley will be among the attractions at the regular Tuesday Club Talks held this year by our friends at NABS, the Advertising industry’s benevolent society. Writer, commentator and educationalist Toby tops the bill on October 8th, while design guru Stephen’s talk is on June 18th. You’ll need to be a member of the NABS Partner Scheme in order to enjoy these and any other Tuesday Club talks, but if your business is anything to do with the media sector then you should already be a Partner. Here’s where to go if you’re not: http://goo.gl/YFlR0.
