Dear, Andy T the photos are amazing, thank you very very much! I’m sorry if it was asked before, but what are the requirements for such a trip, is it available for everyone or only some very loyal customers? What was the price including hotel accommodations and every thing else, thank you.
Thank you to our Sponsors

The only requirement at the time was to put one's name down ! The Struer Tourist Board do arrange Factory Visits though this one was obviously rather special. Whether B&O would arrange another one is not known.
My B&O Icons:
At about quarter to five, we were taken back to our hotel where we had an hour before we were to be picked up again.
Bang and Olufsen had kindly arranged to take us out for a meal.
The restaurant they had chosen was on the same, four mile long island that Frede lives on. It was called Venø Kro.
What a great choice! This is us arriving there.

We were made very welcome by the lady who owns it with her husband and we all took our places on a huge table up against the sea facing window.
No expense had been spared with this meal!
There were a multitude of different sauces for different dishes and our hostess gave us details of the ingredients in each.
Every time I put my wine glass back on the table, a waiter was there topping it up!
This is Thea in the foreground on the right opposite Lee.
Thea is an anthropologist who was compiling a study of us for Bang and Olufsen. They want to know what makes us tick!
If you get time, go to the Lifestyle forum and find a thread titled "Why B&O?" You can then help Thea with her study of Beoworlders.
Fourth down on the left is a lady from B&O, I think she is called Tinne.
Great meal, great company, great venue but the piece de resistance was yet to come!
What an incredible experience. The photos are just great, A fantastic idea to share this with the *drooling* forum :)
Thanks for that, David.
Well half way through our meal a lady from B&O attracted our attention at the end of the table.
I have no idea what her name is so if you do, please let me know.
She had in her hands a silver coloured box and we all knew what was in it before she told us. We all applauded!
Beo5😁👍
Before she opened the box she asked if we would promise not to take pictures of it and, as we were trustworthy Beoworlders, none of us did.
Bang and Olufsen knew that we knew it existed and many of us had asked about it all day long but kept coming up against a brick wall.
I think it is a tribute to Beoworld that B&O privledged us with this unscheduled unveiling.
I have a strong feeling that this was the only one made as it was flying out to Dubai tomorrow!
The Beo5 was passed around the table for each guest to play with, I was the fourth member of the public to hold one of these! (Eat your heart out, His Majesty King Mohamed VI of Morrocco!

Is Thea related to Mr JJ??
Excellent work to date Andy! keep it coming!
Cheers mate. In that case, she was already in the agenda to accompany us to Venø Kro and therfore, makes me wonder whether B&O had planned on showing us Beo5 all the time😕
Although none of us took a picture of Beo5, the image was accidently posted on the media center so this photo' is not mine.
