BMW once again showed their appreciation to the many media representatives who attended this week’s BMW International Open near Cologne.

On Saturday night we were hosted to a ‘Beach Party’ on the banks of the mighty Rhine River.

Once again it was a wonderful evening and another great opportunity to get away from the Media Centre environment and generally mix with everyone.

And the continuing initiative on the part of BMW is something many tournament administrators could learn to better work with the media.

Our special thanks to BMW and to Nicole and her wonderful team for hosting a very enjoyable evening.

Hereunder is a selection of snaps from the evening.
