The
Woodrose Facilities Open
The launch of The Woodrose, at Brigade Millennium, was held on
23 October 2005. The evening began with cocktails in the central
courtyard. Dinner was arranged at the indoor badminton court,
due to an overcast sky. Blue on Ice, a leading jazz band in Bangalore,
entertained guests throughout the evening, with music spanning
the decades. A spectacular fireworks display was also organised.
Invitees included our corporate clients and associates.

Mr Jaishankar formally addressed the gathering by introducing
the staff at The Woodrose to all the guests. Details of membership
to the club were announced and plans for affiliation with other
clubs in the country over the next few years were also expressed.
The Woodrose has been a beehive of activity since the launch,
drawing members and visitors to its business, sports, dining
and guest room facilities. The restaurant, Melting Pot, is now
open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and serves Indian, Chinese,
and Continental cuisine. Golden Krust—the bakery shop at
The Woodrose is also fully functional and stocks freshly baked
bread, cookies, pastries and other bakery items. Banquets are
also being organised regularly at the club.
The Business and Conference facilities that include the Boardroom
and The Blue Room, the 100-seater conference hall, have attracted
many corporate visitors. Brand workshops, off sites and seminars
are being held at the club with increasing regularity.
The club sports facilities like the indoor badminton courts,
billiards room, squash courts, swimming pool, table tennis and
cards room are also being frequented by members. The Salon, offering
personal grooming facilities, is now open. Run by Charu Ramaiah
(formerly of Spratt Hair Clinic and Academy), The Salon guarantees
high standards of quality and professional service. The Health
Spa, also being operated by Charu and her team, will be opening
shortly. The 26 fully furnished guest rooms at The Woodrose are
ready and have already been let out to guests.
