SUMMARY:Trip to the Proms\, Lunch and Tour of the Royal Albert Hall - Sold Out
DESCRIPTION:This singular social event on Saturday\, 2nd August\, has been some nine months in the planning and the Master had all but given up on it\, when he received a confirmatory phone call this morning. (Tuesday\, the 22nd – somewhat short notice!) \nThe world-famous annual round of concerts known as “The Proms” is a great British summer institution\, and made all the more so by the fascinating building in which they are held. Built by private subscription from 1867 to 1871\, The Royal Albert Hall is an amazing\, circular\, covered amphitheatre\, overlooking Kensington Gardens\, just along from Knightsbridge. Today\, the Proms apart\, it hosts many of the most amazing public shows\, circuses\, concerts and spectacles (Tennis\, anyone?) in London’s annual calendar. \nThe Master has managed to bag three things which make a visit there truly memorable\, namely: \n1   11am tickets to a top concerts in this year’s Proms programme – called Viennese Whirl; \n2.  A 1.15pm table for lunch in “Verdi”\, the Albert Hall’s famous Italian restaurant on the first floor; and \n3.  A 3pm tour of the Hall itself. \nSadly\, there are only eight places on this amazing day out\, and two of them have already gone\, so the remaining six are available on a first-come-first-served basis. In the interests of fairness\, you can only bring one guest. \nThe concert will showcase the world’s most famous Viennese Waltzes\, the lunch should be delicious (We’ll do some bistro mathematics for the bill!)\, and the backstage tour is fascinating. \nSo come and enjoy a real ‘bucket list” outing on Saturday\, 2nd August. Dress is smart casual. \n

SUMMARY:Summer Lunch at Lord's Cricket Ground
DESCRIPTION:Lord’s\, in leafy St John’s Wood\, is the spiritual home of the cricketing world. Owned and managed by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC)\, the iconic ground boasts some pretty amazing architecture\, including the ornate Victorian-era Pavilion\, which dominates one end of the field. \nMany Members are avid cricket followers and regular visitors there\, but even for those who are not\, a trip to Lord’s is to enter a different and extremely interesting world. \nWe are going as guests of the MCC on a day when no matches are being played\,  so we should have the place largely to ourselves. We will start with a tour of the ground and then of the Lord’s Museum\, which houses the original Ashes Urn\, amongst many other treasures\, before repairing to the Writing Room\, overlooking the main cricket square\, for lunch. \nThe meal will be the usual three courses\, with all the trimmings\, and our guest speaker will be the famous England international bowler and latterly\, England selector\, Angus Fraser. Gus played 87 times for England\, and remains the all-time most successful bowler in the West Indies\, which was quite a feat when one recalls that in his era it was home to the most fearsome team on the international circuit. \nGus was also a long-time giant of the Middlesex County team which included such other greats as Mike Brearley\, Andrew Strauss\, Mike Gatting\, and Phil Edmonds. He followed up his stellar England career by first Captaining the County and then\, after a spell as cricket correspondent for The Independent\, serving as a highly successful Director of Cricket for 12 years\, during which he won an especially nail-biting County Championship final in 2016. \nToday\, Gus is Director of the cricketing charity\, Middlesex in the Community\, which the Livery has long supported. He will be talking to us about the big issues in the game at present\, what the future may hold and the important work of his charity. He has also kindly agreed to take questions. \nSadly\, the Writing Room only seats 60\, so you may need to book promptly to avoid disappoint. Dress for this event is always “Summer Garden Party” (ie jacket/blazer and tie for men – no jeans – and the equivalent for ladies.) Guests are most welcome and places cost £129. \n\nTickets are being sold through Ticket Tailor.\nThe change to Ticket Tailor is necessary\, as the online system we have been using is no longer working reliably. Orders and invoices are being lost\, seemingly randomly\, which is causing issues for the delivery of events.\nPlease note: this system requires payment to complete the booking.  \nIf you are unable to order online\, please contact Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org and she can process the order for you. \n\n\nBUY TICKETS HERE
