SUMMARY:Annual Banquet 2024
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Banquet will be held at Mansion House on Tuesday\, 23rd July. The occasion is always the highpoint of our Livery’s year\, and this occasion will be no exception. \nAs many Members will know\, until the mid-18th century\, Lord Mayors used their own houses or livery halls for their work as head of the City’s governmental\, judicial and civic functions. The idea of creating a permanent residence came after the Great Fire of 1666 to provide a house for Lord Mayors who did not have their own livery hall. The first stone was laid in 1739\, and the first Lord Mayor to take up residence was Sir Crispin Gascoigne. The House was completed in 1758. \nImposingly Palladian in style\, it is faced by a grand temple portico at the front approached by flights of steps each side. The entertaining rooms were built on the first and second floors. The first floor had a roofless courtyard (later covered to form the Salon\, the entertainment space) and the great Egyptian Hall. The second floor has a ballroom and private apartments of the Lord Mayor and family. \nAfter we have dined\, Members and their guests will hear from The Chairman of the Bank of England\, David Roberts. David’s career began at Barclays\, where he worked for over 20 years\, rising to sit on the main board. He has also been Vice-Chair of NHS England\, Chairman of Nationwide\, and Deputy Chairman of Lloyds Banking Group. Currently however\, his role as Chairman of our nation’s central bank keeps him extremely busy and he will no doubt be keen to explain what the Bank of England is currently doing and why – rather brave\, really\, to a room full of chartered accountants! \n\nTickets: £169\nTime: 6.45pm – Drinks\, 7.15pm – Call for Dinner\, 10.30pm – Carriages\nDress: White Tie\, Black Tie or Livery Uniform with Badges and Decorations \nPlease book below where possible\nIf unable to book online\, please contact Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org\nor 07828 554967

SUMMARY:Installation Dinner 2024
DESCRIPTION:It’s decades since we last dined at Merchant Taylors’ Hall\, which is very much one of “The Big Four” (We’ve been to all of Drapers\, Goldsmiths\, and Fishmongers in the past two years.). Hidden away behind anonymous facade\, just east of the Bank of England\, lies a collection of grand reception rooms and a lovely courtyard garden. The Great Hall itself is very splendid and the only one in London with an organ. \nAs well as starting the new Livery year in style\, and Installing Jonathan Grosvenor as Master\, we have several things to celebrate!  \n– Firstly\, our splendid Beadle has served us for ten years\, and we all wish to mark this milestone with a suitable presentation. \n– Secondly\, there is our Sword of Honour to present to the best contributor to our fine 47 Squadron Association. \n– Lastly\, but by no means least\, we have a number of presentations to recent Past Masters. \nThe Almoner will give a short update on the grants the Trustees have been making on our behalf\, plus the first of our small appeals\, made on big dinner nights this coming year\, at which a Member will ask us to support a specific fundraiser of limited size\, to which they are personally committed. \nAs for entertainment\, the meal\, the fellowship and the lovely surroundings apart\, we will take fully advantage of the organ\, with a short concert after dinner. The Master-elect has persuaded our own Miles Hedges\, who is a fine singer\, to join up with leading Australian soprano\, Samantha Hargreaves\, and fine baritone\, David Bole (a former state trumpeter\, no less!) and the well-known City Minstrel\, Julian Cable on the organ\, to light up the Hall with a range of songs\, the last of which should blow the roof off (Just don’t tell the Master MT!). \nThe guest speaker is Brigadier Greville Bibby\, who is probably the country’s best-known soldier\, because\, after a distinguished career in the Guards and beyond\, Greville became the face of the BBC for all our great state occasions. He leads us skilfully through Trooping the Colour\, Royal funerals and Coronations\, the State Opening of Parliament\, and\, of course\, our own Lord Mayor’s Show\, explaining what’s happening and who is doing it. \nGreville is under strict instructions to be highly indiscreet over what goes on behind the scenes at these parades etc\, and to share with us how the broadcasts come together\, and what happens when they don’t! \nSo come along to see the new Master installed\, watch the presentations\, savour the meal\, the music and the speaker\, and enjoy the evening with your guests and livery friends.\n\nTickets: £139     (the price listed below may show as excl.VAT but this should correct itself at checkout)\nDress: Black Tie or Livery Uniform\, with Badges and Decorations\nTime:\n6.30pm Drinks Reception\n7pm Dinner\n10.30pm Carriages \n  \nPlease book tickets below if possible\nIf unable to book online\, please contact Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org or 07828 554967 \nOne admin point: Pour Memoire Cards will be posted to you for you and your guests\, if you book before 13th September\, when the printer starts work. After that date there will only be time to send you e-PM cards.

SUMMARY:Court and Trustees' Consorts Dinner
DESCRIPTION:This annual event is open to Members and former Members of Court and to the Trustees of our Charity\, plus their Consorts. The evening provides an opportunity for everyone to socialise together and most importantly\, to discuss issues surrounding our Company’s and Charity’s governance\, fundraising and grant making. The speaker is usually someone who can add to such discussions. \nThis year\, the Dinner is being held at the Army and Navy Club at the western end of Pall Mall\, and our guest speaker will be the CO of our newest military affiliate. After the meal\, the Colonel will address us on the welfare challenges that he and his SLT face in relation to their soldiers\, many of whom are quite young. \nDress for the evening is black tie or livery uniform\, and invitations will go out shortly to those eligible to attend. Places are priced up and invoiced after the event\, once all the costs are known.

SUMMARY:Winter Dinner 2025 - House of Commons
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS ARE NOW SOLD OUT FOR THIS EVENT \nIf you would like to be added to the waiting list\, then please contact Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantsliveryorg \n\nWe have never dined in the House of Commons and owe this great opportunity to our friend and fellow Member\, Howard Leigh\, who currently serves in the House of Lords\, as Lord Leigh of Hurley. \nThe Commons is a fascinating place to visit\, never mind its rich history\, amazing architecture and pivotal role in our nation’s governance. We are lucky enough to be holding our drinks reception in the Strangers Bar\, before moving next door to the lovely Members Dining Room for our meal. \nNext\, in another first for the Company\, there will be a public clothing ceremony for some new Liverymen – something which has hitherto always taken place in the privacy of a Court Meeting. \nAfter we have dined\, we will be entertained by three fabulous sopranos from the justly-famous “Ida Girls”\, who will delight us with a medley of famous arias and West End show-stoppers. \nThen we shall move on to the presentation of the new Sword of Honour to our own Special Forced Support Group\, who will be represented by the CO and RSM. \nI’m afraid that the identity of the principal guest and speaker for the evening must remain unsaid for the present. There are three lined up for the next three Dinners\, but two of them come with security details\, so I hope you will bear with me whilst they all haggle amongst themselves and with their opposite numbers at the three venues! \nLast\, as regards price\, it has been possible to reduce the cost of places yet again. You will recall that at the Installation Dinner\, by dint of much juggling (and no little pleading by the Master!) we cut £10 off what has emerged as the standard City price of £149\, reducing it to £139. This time\, it has proved possible to negotiate a further reduction of another £10 pounds\, so tickets will cost “just” £129 (Inc Vat). \nThat all said\, I’m afraid this is not the largest venue we have ever visited and there are only 155 places available. So please do book up promptly to avoid disappointment. \n\nDrinks Reception: 6.30pm Please arrive early to allow time for security\nDinner: 7pm\nDress: Black Tie \nTickets: £129 (the price listed below may show excl VAT but should show the total at the checkout\, if this doesn’t update then please tell Clare or Sue) \n\n(NB: This Dinner is straight after our Common Hall to vote of the new Royal Charter\, which is a separately bookable event. However\, Members can be assured that that meeting will end in time for them to walk across Parliament Square to the Houses of Parliament.)

SUMMARY:Trip to The Pirates of Penzance at the London Coliseum
DESCRIPTION:The Coliseum is one of this country’s most famous theatres\, with a huge internal space\, and amazing architecture\, very much in the grand style. What could be a better venue for one of Gilbert & Sullivan’s most over-the-top and outrageous operettas!? \nSo batten down the hatches and strike the colours! The pirates are back. The English National Opera’s smash-hit production of this world-famous swashbuckling farce is packing them out. With its splendidly silly storyline\, wild wordplay and well-loved songs\, this Mike Leigh production of The Pirates is irresistibly feel-good. And we’re going to be there! \nFor those unfamiliar with the story\, a rather too honourable apprentice pirate (with a very unusual birthday) woos the lovely daughter of a rather dozy Major General\, while his bungling buccaneer-shipmates try to frustrate the match\, which involves trying to outwit an equally inept party of policemen. With friends like these\, what could possibly go wrong? \nSo come along to enjoy this amazing show at 7pm. \nWe have also booked a pre-theatre supper at nearby Clermont Hotel at 5.15pm\, for those who’d like a meal first. \n\nTickets: £111\nTicket including pre-theatre supper: £170 \nPre-theatre: 5.15pm\nShow: 7pm \nPlease book below where possible.\nIf unable to\, then please contact Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org

SUMMARY:Dinner at the RAF Club in Piccadilly
DESCRIPTION:London boasts about twenty rather smart private members clubs\, several of which have a military focus\, and by general agreement the RAF Club\, at the western end of Piccadilly\, up by Hyde Park Corner\, is one of the most attractive and intimate. (The wall art’s pretty amazing too!) We are lucky to have close links with the service\, both through our relationship with 47 Squadron\, and also because Court Assistant Neeraj Kapur used to fly Tornados for a living\, and today still flies fast jets! (He never mentions any of this\, unless pressed!) \nAs a result\, Neeraj has kindly agreed to host 22 of us for a private Dinner at the Club\, with a drinks reception and tour beforehand\, and a senior speaker from the RAF to talk to us after the meal. \nThe RAF Club is always popular and heavily booked\, but we have managed to secure the lovely Cowdrey Lounge for our drinks reception and then the equally splendid Hodges Room for the Dinner. \n\nTickets: £109 (the price below may show as excl VAT but should update at checkout)\nGuest are welcome\, but there are only 26 places available so booking early is advisable \nDress code: Lounge suits for men and the equivalent for ladies\nDrinks: 6.30pm\nDinner: 7pm

SUMMARY:Two "Flights" on the London Eye
DESCRIPTION:The London Eye is the iconic ferris wheel on the south bank of the Thames\, just opposite the Palace of Westminster. From the top\, those travelling in the enclosed gondolas can see all across London and\, on a clear day\, out beyond the M25. \nNow in its 25th year of operation\, those who take one of the “flights” as they are styled\, report that the amazing view during daylight hours is starkly different from what it looks like\, gazing down on our nation’s capital\, all lit up at night. \nTo test this and enjoy that contrast\, the Master is leading a party of ten Members and guests on a 6.15pm flight\, to see London laid out before them in daylight. Then\, our party will repair to a local restaurant for a restorative supper\, before returning for the 8.15pm flight\, which will begin as dusk falls\, enabling everyone to enjoy the full night-time experience. \nThe price of £109 includes both flights\, and a light supper with wine\, and one of the official souvenir brochures. \nDress is casual\, with an emphasis on wrapping up reasonably warm\, for what may well be a slight evening chill.

SUMMARY:St George's Day Banquet with the RSSG - Sold Out
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Society of St George (aka The RSSG) is a global British patriotic society\, and has one of its most active branches in the City of London. Routinely chaired by former Lord Mayors\, Sheriffs and other senior figures from the Corporation\, it effectively functions like a Livery Company. \nThe highlight of the RSSG’s annual social round is\, perhaps inevitably\, a massive Banquet on St George’s Day. The event has been described by many as “The last night of the Proms with a swanky Banquet thrown in”\, and we periodically send a party along to join in – during PM John Cardnell’s year\, over 40 members and their guests went along and had a great time. \nThis year it is being held at the magnificent Drapers’ Hall and the RSSG has again invited us to join them\, and as the Spring Dinner is already sold out\, it seemed a great idea to accept. \nSo the Master and Mistress will lead our party and it is hoped that you and any guests can come along too\, enjoy the four-course\, roast-beef-centred-dinner\, with wines\, coffee and chocs etc\, and then wave your flags with the best of them during the sing song. \nTickets cost £179 each\, dress is black tie\, and rather encouragingly\, the drinks reception\, which starts at 6.30pm\, lasts a whole hour!

SUMMARY:Visit to Highgate Cemetery and Supper
DESCRIPTION:The world-famous Highgate Cemetery\, with its iconic tombs (Karl Marx etc) was originally opened in 1839\, as part of a commercial venture to provide seven large\, modern cemeteries\, round the edge of central London. The inner-city cemeteries\, mostly graveyards attached to churches\, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and “The Magnificent Seven” were intended to solve this problem\, and to turn a profit at the same time. \nHighgate occupies a spectacular south-facing hillside site on Highgate Hill. Like the other six\, it soon became a fashionable place for burials and the Victorian attitude to death and its presentation led to the creation of a wealth of Gothic tombs\, buildings and catacombs. \nSadly\, the cemetery was not well run and fell into such dire financial straits in the Mid-20th Century that most of the staff\, including the gardeners were laid off\, and it was left unguarded and so was much vandalised. Over decades\, the grounds became increasingly overgrown and today they are full of trees\, shrubbery\, and wildflowers\, as well as being a haven for birds and small animals\, such as foxes. \nIn 1975\, Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust bought the freehold\, and order is steadily being restored to what has\, despite its troubled history\, remained a working cemetery throughout. With its sinuous paths winding up a steep wooded hill and ivy-clad monuments\, Highgate Cemetery is a secluded\, funerary landscape at its most evocative. \nWe will have a hour’s private tour of the Western Cemetery (considered by those who have visited both\, to be much the more interesting)\, after the gates have shut to the public for the day. We will be shown all the key sites there\, before slipping across the road to visit Karl Marx’s tomb and a few other items on the Eastern side. \nAfter our tour\, we will repair to a restaurant in Highgate for an informal supper. \nThe Guide can only accommodate 20 of us\, and tickets cost £59 per person\, which will include the two-course supper. \nThe cemetery is on a hillside and our tour will include some walks up and down slopes and stone staircases\, so this event is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. \n\nTickets: £59 \nTime: 5pm    followed by supper nearby

SUMMARY:Livery Tour and Dinner on SS Great Britain - Sold Out
DESCRIPTION:The SS Great Britain is the world’s first great ocean liner and when launched in 1843 she was called ‘the greatest experiment since the creation’. After 40 years as a passenger ship and then a cargo ship\, she was severely damaged off Cape Horn and left to rot in the Falkland Islands until 1970\, when she was re-floated and bought back to Bristol\, where a charity refurbished her and cares for the ship and Brunel’s collections. \nBrunel’s ship is now Bristol’s number one tourist attraction and has been lovingly restored to her original glory\, exactly as she would have been ready for her maiden voyage. She sits in a dry dock on a glass ‘sea’ and dominates Bristol’s historic waterfront. \nThis is a very rare opportunity to dine on the this world-famous ship\, as London’s Liveries\, (led by the Engineers\, naturally!)\, have her for our exclusive use that evening. \nA welcome drink which will be served on the Weather Deck from 6pm\, with spectacular views over Bristol harbour. If the weather is less kind\, we will use the Promenade Deck\, where the first-class passengers would take their afternoon stroll on rainy days. This is flooded with natural light and has a number of exhibits that we can explore. \nAt 7:30pm we will assemble for Dinner in the First Class Dining Saloon\, which has been completely refurbished in the original style. With marbled pillars and rococo mirrors it makes a grand setting. A three-course meal will be served\, with wine. There will be entertainment after the meal and further drinks will be available to purchase. \nWe have exclusive use of the Great Britain from 6pm to midnight and are invited to explore it\, making the most of this unique venue. \nThe ship is easy to reach by car\, public transport or on foot. There are also several hotels near the ship\, for those who wish to stay over on the Friday night\, and Clare can advise on these. \n\nTickets: £142 \nDress: dinner suits for gentlemen and cocktail/summer dresses for ladies. Colour is to be encouraged\, as is comfort. \nTime: 6pm-midnight

SUMMARY:Annual Banquet
DESCRIPTION:This event is always the highpoint of our Livery’s annual social round\, and this year should be no exception. Our guests for the evening will include the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress\, plus at least one Sheriff(!)\, and there will be other familiar faces too. \nDuring the evening we will be clothing at least one of our Livery friends\, and also formally affiliating with II Squadron RAF Regt\, (in place of our previous relationship with 47 Sqn\, which has recently been put to sleep\, pending a new role). \nThere will\, of course\, be the usual quarterly report from the Almoner on the work of our excellent Charity\, and grants it has made in the name of all of us. The flash appeal on the evening will be in aid of the Little Princess Trust. This charity makes wigs for children who have lost their hair due to the side effects of the treatment for their cancers. Amazingly\, most of that hair is donated by other children\, who witness the dreadful impact of the hair loss on their young friends. \nAs well as the usual speeches after the meal\, there should also be some entertainment. However\, that cannot be revealed until the night\, but what you will notice on entering the Egyptian Hall to dine\, is a stage built to one side. \nTalking of speakers\, the Lord Mayor aside (who is excellent)\, our external speaker is The Hon Harry Herbert\, who is the son of our late Queen’s racing manager\, and today the UK’s leading director of racing syndicates. He has lots of interesting tales to tell from that slightly mad world\, and happily for us\, only a limited sense of discretion! \nSo come along\, bring your family and friends\, and  enjoy a spectacular evening out\, with all the trimmings and some great entertainment. \nDress is black or white tie\, or Livery uniform\, plus badges and by dint of some hard negotiating with the powers that be\, it has been possible to reduce the price this year to £165 per person. \n
