Swan Upping on the Thames near Henley

Henley-on-Thames

All aboard The Waterman! The day will start at Henley-on-Thames at 11.15am for an 11.30am departure, on the beautiful, double-decked Waterman. As we cruise down the Thames, a Swan Upper will explain the history of Swan Upping, while we all enjoy a glass or two of Pimm's and some delicious canapes. We will then sit down to a three-course lunch with wines, while keeping tabs on the swans and their signets. The afternoon will conclude at about 3.30pm, when we will dock back at Henley, hopefully having seen several swans upped and no uppers dunked! Tickets are £110 and numbers are limited, so they will have to be restricted to two per Member (ie themselves, plus a guest) and also allocated on a first- come-first-served basis.   Ticket sales have now ended for this event.

Brize Norton – Flight and Lunch

RAF Brize Norton, Carterton OX18 3LX RAF Brize Norton, Caterton

Our SMiLO has organised a rare flying visit with 47 Squadron to mark the long association between the Company and our affiliated unit. As the Squadron is to be disbanded in 30 June 2023, this is not only a rare flying opportunity, but the last one. The visit will include welcome coffee, flight briefing, a flight (probably to the Severn estuary and perhaps a simulated beach landing - all subject to weather and ATC ), followed by a light lunch in the Officer’s Mess. Please respond to Clare on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org by Friday 12 May at 12noon. If there are more than 20 applicants there will be a ballot for places, and a reserve list.
