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
