SUMMARY:Tour of Chartered Accountants' Hall with the ICAEW President
DESCRIPTION:Tour One Moorgate Place\, also known as Chartered Accountants’ Hall\, with guide Malcolm Bacchus\, a WCCAEW Court Assistant\, and longstanding Livery Company member. \nMalcolm became ICAEW President in June of this year\, and it is probably fair to say that few people know more about the history of the building than he does. This will be a very special evening. \nOne Moorgate Place is a grade II listed building which opened in 1893. It has a range of diverse spaces that can accommodate a number of event requirements. Opulent rooms such as the Main Reception Room and Members’ Room remain true to the building’s historical and cultural heritage\, while the Great Hall and range of contemporary and modern rooms are perfect for conferences and business meetings. \nAs you venture through One Moorgate Place\, you will appreciate the creative engineering work of the original architectural style and building design.  With extensions and updates taking place throughout its history\, there is a strong art-deco feel in some areas which juxtaposes the original features. \n\n \nFollowing the tour you are invited down for drinks in the the OMP Club in the basement of the building.\nYou are also welcome to join the group at an optional supper nearby. \nThere is no charge for the tour\, but you will have to cover the cost of any food and drink you have. \nPleaces are limited so please reserve your place below. \nAlternatively contact Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org or 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:Tour of the Roman Amphitheatre under Guildhall and the Art Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Very few people know that underneath Guildhall is a large Roman amphitheatre\, which occupied most of what is now the site of Guildhall Yard and the Great Hall. This was one of the centre-pieces of Roman Londinium\, and the venue for countless gladiatorial contests\, pageants and other displays. Some 2\,000 years after they were built\, few such amphitheatres survive in the UK and this is the only one which is so intact. It is also the only one to which the public can gain access – albeit by dint of much begging! \nWe have been granted that privilege\, but only for a maximum of 15 people\, because the fabric of the arena has to be preserved from the tread of countless feet. \nOur guide is also going to give us a private tour of the Art Gallery\, which we sometimes pass through on our way to big City Civic events – the cloakroom and loos are in the basement! It has a HUGE and ever-growing collection\, including one of the original Magna Cartas. \nSo hurry and book the very limited number of places (Capacity means Members can bring just one guest each.) for a ninety-minute visit\, meeting our guide at Guildhall’s West Wing entrance at 6pm. We will start with a tour of the Gallery and then descend underground and walk out onto the sand of the arena\, slipping back in history over two millennia\, to stand where countless battles were fought and some of our City’s historic foundations were cast. \nAfter the tour\, you are free to head home\, or you can join the Master for supper at The Trading House\, a few yards away in Gresham Street\, where everyone can choose what they wish to eat and then squabble over the bill!

SUMMARY:Bank of England Lunch 2024
DESCRIPTION:THE CURRENT ECONOMIC OUTLOOK – The view from the Bank of England \nSpeaker Rob Elder – Bank of England Agent \nBank of England Agents are shadowy figures who each “farms their patch”\, talking constantly and discretely to businesses large and small\, to see how the economy is doing from their perspective\, what the pinch points are and also the threats and opportunities. The Agents then convert all this raw information into considered intelligence\, which is fed back into the Bank’s assessment process\, for a whole range of policy decisions. \nAgents do not talk publicly about their work\, but we have friends in low places\, and so are delighted to welcome Rob Elder back to CAH once again\, to speak to a small number of us\, strictly under the Chatham House Rule\, to give the Bank of England’s view on the economic year ahead. \nWe are in a period of turmoil and fluctuation\, with elections in both the UK and USA\, coupled with the ongoing crises in the Middle East and the Ukraine war\, which are all resulting in major trends and changes across Europe. \nThere is thus much to hear about from the Bank of England\, and shrewd questions to be asked of Bob. Especially if you haven’t been before\, this is not an event not be missed\, and very much one for “the bucket list”! \nWe meet in the Members Room at 1.15pm\, and the meeting and meal will finishing at about 3.30pm. \n\nDate: Tuesday 22 October \nTime: 1.15pm – 3.30pm \nTickets: £68.50 to include a two-course lunch and a glass of wine

SUMMARY:Private tour of the Tower of London and Ceremony of the Keys
DESCRIPTION:When Duke William of Normandy won the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and marched north to London\, he struck a deal with the Masters of the then Guilds to protect the City in return for their fealty. The first evidence of that protection was King William I’s construction and manning of what became known as the White Tower\, to guard London from Viking raiding parties coming up the Thames. Today\, that Tower stands in the middle of the much larger Royal fortress and palace; the Tower of London. \nEvery night\, the Tower is locked up and made secure in what has become known as the Ceremony of the Keys. That ceremony is open to small parties to watch\, by kind permission of the Governor of the Tower. We have been granted this privilege\, and also a private tour of the Tower itself\, led by a Yeoman Warder. \nFor security reasons\, our party is limited to 50 people and we will all need to be at the main entrance to the Tower on its west side by 7.15pm\, so the Warders and soldiers can check the attendance list prior to our admission. \nOnce inside\, a Yeoman Warder will lead us on a private tour of the silent fortress for about an hour\, answering our questions along the way\, before taking us the “The Keys”\, the Warders’ private pub. There\, we can have a drink and join in a raffle for various Tower-related souvenirs. For historical reasons to do with transactions on military bases and inside Royal palaces (The Tower is both.)\, both the bar and the raffle operate on a cash-only basis\, so remember to bring some notes with you. \nThen\, we will all be led back out into the dark to visit the famous ravens\, and to watch the Ceremony of the Keys\, involving Warders\, members of the military garrison\, and of course\, the all-important keys! \nAfter that is over\, we are free to leave\, which should be the right side of 10.30pm. \n(There is no food allowed inside the Tower\, but there should be time to have supper before we gather at the entrance gate at 7.15pm\, and there are several eateries in the immediate area.)

SUMMARY:Carol Service at the Chapel Royal inside the Tower of London and Supper at Watermen's Hall
DESCRIPTION:As well as very kindly granting the Company a private tour of the Tower on 20th November\, and ringside seats at that evening’s Ceremony of the Keys\, the Governor has also given us permission to hold this year’s Carol Service in their Chapel Royal. The Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula stands in the north-east corner of the fortress and dates from the reign of King Henry VIII\, but it is merely the latest church on the site\, which has been holy ground since the Dark Ages. \n \nFor those who wish to take a general tour beforehand and see the Crown Jewels\, it has been agreed that we can buy tickets for entry between 3pm and 4pm\, at a cost of £32 each. Then\, once the Tower closes\, rather than being asked to wait outside for the service\, we are going to be allowed to have a drink in the Yeoman Warders’ private pub\, The Keys\, until 6pm. (Note: this is a cash-only bar.) \nMembers and their guests who do not wish to visit the Tower of London before the Carol Service need to come to the main entrance on the western side of the fortress at 6pm. \n \n  \nAt 6pm\, everyone will led up to the Chapel Royal and given a talk on its history and present day role. The service itself will begin at 6.30pm and should last about an hour. The cost of attending the service (which goes towards the choir etc) is £28. \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \nAfter the service\, Members and their guests can either leave for home\, or walk to Watermen’s Hall\, seven minutes away\, for canapés and drinks\, with a Christmas theme\, the cost of which is £49 per person. \n  \n  \n\nTower of London\, Crown Jewels\, The Keys pub\n3pm-6pm\n£32 (plus cash-only bar in the pub) \nCarol Service in the Chapel Royal in the Tower of London\n6.30pm\n£28 \nDrinks and Canapés at Watermen’s Hall\n7.30pm\n£49 \nThis is an event at which guests (including children) are most welcome\, and it is perhaps worth stressing that the Company in unlikely to be granted this honour again in the near future\, so it is probably something most of us are unlikely to be able to do again in our Livery careers. \nDress: smart day wear\, and given that the Tower is always chilly in December (All that stone!) coats\, hats and gloves are advisable.

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.

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:Carpet Bowls Day
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED.  \nThis will now take place in September but a date hasn’t been set yet. \n\nOver the years\, a number of very successful Inter-Livery social events have emerged\, such as Croquet and Pétanque\, but to date there has been no Inter-Livery Carpet Bowls. \nOur Company recently lost yet another much-loved Member to Prostate Cancer (He was our fourth in just three years.)\, and this dreadful condition is a similar scourge across the entire City Civic. As a result\, the Master has decided that our Company will organise this event in aid of Prostate Cancer Research\, and in memory of him and all the other Livery/Guild victims on Saturday\, 25th January.  \nWe are all greatly indebted to our friends at The Plaisterers\, for so kindly agreeing to sponsor this fundraiser at their fabulous Hall. \nThe format of the day will be very simple: entries cost £49/person and guest players over 11yo are very welcome. Dress is casual (Jeans are fine\, but string vests are discouraged!) \nOur fellow Liveries and Guilds have all been invited to enter one or two teams of four. As organiser\, we can field up to four. \nThere will be teas and coffees served throughout the day\, plus a (reasonably priced!) cash bar over lunch\, offering red and white wine by the glass\, plus orange and apple juice. \nLunch will be a shared picnic and everyone must bring a contribution of cold food to be shared with others – ideally enough for several servings. (Quiche\, pates\, flans\, salads\, cold meats\, sandwiches etc\, and easy puddings). If you are truly useless at picnics\, tell Clare privately and we will buy your contribution for you\, for an extra £10 per entrant. (Your shameful secret will be safe with us!) \nFull joining instructions will be issued in the New Year\, but in essence\, the doors to Plaisterers will open at 10am\, with teas/coffees served. Then after a briefing at 10.30am on rules of the day\, plus demos of how to play\, and team rosters sorted\, everyone will play a round-robin series of matches to establish broad skill levels. After lunch the top half of teams will compete for the Hardman Cup\, whilst the rest will fight it out in a Plate Competition. There will be prizes and we should all be away by 4pm \nSo come and enjoy a great day of bowls\, whilst also supporting an excellent cause.

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:"Trial & Error" at Old Bailey
DESCRIPTION:About ten years ago\, a group of judges and barristers were chatting idly about how to raise some limited funds for a prison charity\, and some bright spark had the idea of putting on an evening of amateur dramatics in the world-famous No 1 Court at Old Bailey. Devised by then Judge\, His Honour Peter Rook KC\, who was based there\, the first year was pretty modest in scale\, but since then the whole mad enterprise has taken on a life of its own. These days\, leading City figures fight to be allowed to humiliate themselves in front of an appreciative (and pretty well-oiled\, thanks to the drinks beforehand) audience of City Civic and legal folk. \n \nAll profits from the evening go to the Sheriffs’ and Recorder’s Fund (helping prison leavers)\, the Elizabeth Fry Charity (giving women a second chance) and the Schools Consent Project (lawyers teaching the legal definition of consent in secondary schools\, to reduce offending rates). \nThis year the Master is leading a party of up to ten to the Wednesday\, 19th March performance (Doors open at 6pm\, drinks reception from 6.15pm\, curtain up at 7pm\, and an end around 8.30pm.)\, and then on to a light supper afterwards in a nearby restaurant. This is British eccentricity at its most entertaining and you are warmly encouraged to join him – guest are very welcome. (Due to the architectural oddities of Old Bailey and the layout of No 1 Court\, this event is probably not suitable for those with mobility issues.) \nTickets to the show cost £70 each\, and then those who wish to stay on for the supper will share their restaurant bill.
