James Bond is back and he’s coming to Southampton this autumn… for another dazzling movie event.

Quantum of Solace picks up where the last film left off, with Bond seeking revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd and travelling as far afield as Haiti and Bolivia in the process.

The evening will commence at 6.30pm with a red carpet drinks reception, followed by a 3 course banquet prepared by Saints’ Award Winning chefs, and of course, head coach Jan Poortvliet and members of his first team squad will also be in attendance.

Guests will be in line for some top-class entertainment, from London’s West End, at the lavish City Cruise Terminal, before moving across to the Odeon Cinema at Leisure World for an exclusive screening of the new film.

There will also be the chance to raise money for an extremely worthwhile cause with all proceeds from this year’s event going towards the Hampshire & IOW Air Ambulance service, which relies entirely on voluntary contributions to support it’s costly but vital life-saving missions across the region.

The event is being supported by Norwich Union, Paris Smith & Randall, Cedar and Parkhouse the Jeweller.

Saints Commercial Director John O’Sullivan said, “We are very grateful for the support of the sponsors and the many other organisations who will be making a contribution to this very
worthwhile and exciting event.”
