This is the occasion at which the Master provides a report to their predecessors, who give private guidance on issues of the day. The Masters’ Consort does much the same with those who have gone before, and then everyone meets up for a Lunch.

Those currently in the chair find the process and the discrete feedback and advice they receive to be very valuable, and those who attend greatly enjoy the day and contributing to the ongoing development of their Livery Company.

This year, the venue is the lovely Innholders’ Hall, down near the river at the foot of Dowgate Hill.

Dress is smart business attire and the ticket price is calculated in arrears and billed accordingly.
