SveaBritt — the network of Swedish professional women in the UK — held its much anticipated 40th Anniversary Jubilee Dinner on 8 March. The celebration which originally was planned for 2021 had been postponed due to the Covid restrictions. The dinner was also a combination of our annual spring dinner, which is the highlight of SveaBritt’s calendar of activities, and the recognition and celebration of the International Women’s Day.

The guest speaker for the evening was the Swedish comedian and artist Babben Larsson who had come over from Sweden solely to entertain us; we felt honoured that she had accepted our invitation.

The ‘turn-out’ consisted of 70 SveaBritts, including guests. After not being able to have any large gatherings and having to postpone this celebration earlier, it was such a pleasure for everyone to be able to meet in ‘real life’, something that was clear from the sheer volume of the laughter and conversation. The great entertainment by Babben and delicious food and service at the Conrad Hotel in Central London added to make the evening a success.
