AceBounce

Five years on from the launch of the Bounce City Cup, we’re taking the event State side and hosting the AceBounce Chicago Cup this September ???? The Bounce City Cup is a blast and many of the teams who came for no1 have come back every year since - you know who you are - thank you! Hopefully we can create a similarly successful event with the fun loving, generous folk in Chicago. So this year not only will State of Play Hospitality be celebrating the 5th Bounce City Cup, on Tuesday 30th September, but also the 1st AceBounce Chicago Cup on Tuesday 16th September. Two September Tuesdays, on either side of the pond, both full of ping pong thrills and spills in aid of two wonderful causes. More details on both events to come, including our charity partners, but if anyone in either London or Chicago would like to bring a team (of 6) do let us know. It will be the best team outing of your year ?? Bring on September hopefully see you there!

React fast, rally hard and smash your shots through the targets before the bot beats you!

We are thrilled to announce the promotion of?Louise Neilson to Chief Operating Officer of?State of Play Hospitality. Louise has been with the Group for nearly 4 years and in that time she has consistently demonstrated outstanding leadership, initially within our UK business and, since January 2024, in the US where her role has expanded significantly. Toby Harris, Chief Executive of State of Play Hospitality, commented, “Louise’s track record in the hospitality industry speaks for itself, and since she joined the group in 2021 she has excelled in several key leadership roles. Having relocated to the US over a year ago, Louise has shown all of her skills and qualities by expertly steering our US Operations and Development teams through a pivotal year of growth. Louise leads from the front and as the group continues to scale I couldn't wish for a more talented and dedicated Executive partner in the COO seat.” Please do join us in congratulating Louise and wishing her the best in her new role!

Chicago winters are no joke, but we've got just the sips to help you power through. ?? The Thyme Out Mocktail: Ritual Zero Proof Rum, vanilla syrup, and lime juice, with a dehydrated lime and thyme garnish. ?? The Rosemary Royale: Old Forester Bourbon, Crème de Cassis, rosemary syrup, lemon juice, and a rosemary sprig. Time for a drink and a match—see you at the table!

The holidays are about gratitude, and our team couldn’t be more excited to spread a little cheer this season. Last week, we had the pleasure of delivering special holiday gift bags to our partners as a token of our appreciation for their continued support. These partnerships truly mean the world to us! From our team to yours, we wish you a joyful, warm holiday season and all the best for the year ahead.????
