I'm not sure why they bothered to mention First Wing when it's only the check-in part of the Wing (rather than security) that can be used by the larger groups.

Traveling through T3 last night to CPT, WAS proactively offered that I could get all on my booking inI to the lounge.
So me +9 into a very quiet GF, a really nice start to our holiday.
Followed by a particularly nice crew member looking after us

So to clarify, a GCH can take guests into a Club or First lounge.

So having not the got the email (or reading Flyertalk), you wouldn't have known about it if you hadn't checked in at a desk at the airport.
If I heard or read about it subsequently, having sat with the masses in T5 with my wife and 3 children because I was flying HBO, know the lounge rules and don't expect anything beyond them so don't embarrass the lounge staff or myself by asking, I'd be pretty annoyed.
I really don't understand how BA marketing works. I get loads of 'junk' emails from BA but they don't seem to be able to send me the occasional useful one?
