SUMMARY:Behind the scenes at Holborn Tube Station - Two returns available
DESCRIPTION:For something slightly different\, a party of just nine members and guests will meet at the famous Holborn Tube Station at 10.55am on Wednesday\, 8th October\, before stepping through a concealed door into the third of the station that’s been hidden for 30 years. \nOriginally opened in 1906 as a complex of four platforms to serve the Piccadilly line\, Holborn played a pivotal role in transforming the surrounding area from a place of ill repute into a prime business district. Our guide will show us the secret corridors\, two disused platforms of the Aldwych branch\, the Aldwych crossover\, and the tracks that lead to the now-closed Aldwych Tube station. \nWe will also discover how the disused parts of the station have been put to surprising uses over the years\, from scientific laboratories\, to wartime shelters for staff and even a model rail club. Holborn’s hidden spaces have also been the backdrop to notable music videos and films\, including Aqua’s Turn Back Time and the recent Superman. \nThe tour will last about an hour and a half and we will then repair to the nearby\, award-winning Isolabella Restaurant\, for a light lunch. (We’ll split the bill on the day). \nPlaces cost £49 each and dress is entirely casual. Comfy walking shoes are advisable\, and although we will not be covering huge distances\, this event is not really suitable for those with mobility issues.

SUMMARY:Shrieval Election and Lunch 2025\, with former Sheriff Andrew Marsden
DESCRIPTION:Twice a year\, the City of London Corporation’s Common Hall is transformed from a standard local authority meeting on civic issues\, into a day of great ceremony. Click here for more history and information. \nEach autumn\, Liverymen elect the next year’s Lord Mayor and every summer\, it’s the turn of the two Sheriffs. \nAfter Common Hall\, many Liveries go home\, but the Master Chartered Accountant hosts a private Reception and Lunch in the Aldermen’s Dining Room. \nWe go up to Guildhall’s roof terrace on the fourth floor for the Reception and then into the Dining Room for lunch. \nThis summer\, we will all be delighted to welcome former Sheriff\, Past Master Marketor and former FSG Chairman\, Andrew Marsden\, as our Principal Guest. Andrew will talk to us after the meal about what happens to you\, if lucky enough to be elected Sheriff\, between that election and when you actually emerge\, blinking into the light\, as a shiny new Sheriff in September. Happily\, Andrew has promised to be highly indiscrete! \nPartners and guests are very welcome and will be able to have coffee and explore the Guildhall Gallery\, while Liverymen are attending the Election Ceremony. \n  \n\n11.30am – Coffee \n11.45am – All attending the Election Ceremony must be seated \n12noon – Shrieval Election Ceremony \n12.45pm – Drinks in the Aldermen’s Dining Room \n1.15pm – Lunch in the Aldermen’s Dining Room \n\nDress: lounge suit or smart day wear \nTickets: £98\, for Drinks Reception and Lunch

SUMMARY:Visit to London Silver Vaults and Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Please note\, this date has moved from 20 February to 7 January. \n\nThe London Silver Vaults is one of those hidden gems\, which came about entirely by chance\, but now serves a pivotal role in its area\, and if it hadn’t existed\, would probably have had to be invented! \nMany years ago a property developer acquired a plot in Chancery Lane\, and due to the unstable nature of that bit of ground\, was told by the planners that he had to use foundations two floors deep. Noting “the site’s proximity to the offices of all those wealthy lawyers\, who infest the area” he decided to make a virtue of necessity and rather than using normal foundations\, actually build in two levels of basements\, and fill the lower one with a series of bank-grade vaults\, which he would rent out to said lawyers. \nThe scheme worked for a while\, but slowly word spread and\, little by little\, leading London silver-smiths and jewellers began to rent vaults as a store for their stock. Their numbers grew\, and inevitably\, they began trading items\, first between themselves\, and then with the wider silver retail community. Today\, the LSV are the nation’s leading silver wholesale market and quite a sight to see. \nHappily\, one of the Master’s friends is Simon Surtees\, son of the famous racing driver of yesteryear\, John. After retiring from the track\, John went into the silver business and Simon now runs the family firm\, based primarily in the LSV. \nSimon has offered to give a dozen members and guests a private tour of the vaults\, after which\, our fine Clerk says that she knows a fantastic pub to which our party can repair for lunch. \nThe Vaults building can be found at 53-64 Chancery Lane\, London\, WC2A 1QS. (The entrance to the building is actually in Southampton Buildings.) \n\n\nWe will meet in the lobby at 10.45am for an 11am start\, and should be away after lunch by about 2.30pm. \n\nTickets: £20\nLimited to 12 places so please book early \n  \nPlease book below where possible.\nIf unable to\, then please contact Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org

SUMMARY:Visit to Gunmakers' Hall and Testing Labs\, plus Christmas Lunch back at CAH
DESCRIPTION:The general public has no idea that behind the quiet façade of Gunmakers’ Hall\, just north-east of the City\, hides the nation’s secret testing labs for all illegal and counterfeit firearms\, which are seized in the UK. Unsurprisingly\, this fascinating facility is never open to them\, but the Gunmakers’ Company\, which owns and manages it on behalf of the nation\, is discretely allowing up to ten of us to tour it\, on condition nothing is said thereafter\, and no photos are taken. \nWe will meet outside their Hall at 10.45am\, ready to go through security\, at 11am. \nThe tour itself will include not only the labs and a briefing from one of the staff\, but also\, oddly\, a visit to see their pet snail\, which is the world’s largest – goodness knows how it ended up living (and apparently thriving!) at Gunmakers! \nOnce the tour is over\, we will all jump into a couple of cabs and go to our Hall\, where the staff have laid on a full Christmas Lunch for us\, down in the Club\, with all the trimmings. \nFor security reasons\, and because the labs are a working environment in which space is limited\, our numbers for this event are restricted to just 10\, so Members are asked not to bring more than one guest.
