2026-09-11 17:00 - 2026-09-12 23:30
Learn full details here: https://www.cityliverysailingchallenge.co.uk/
If you are interested, please contact Clare Ferrar on clareferrar@accountantslivery.org who can direct you to the lead contact from the Chartered Accountants’ Livery Company.

We are delighted that you have expressed an interest in competing in the City Livery Sailing Challenge for the Princess Royal Challenge Cup presented by the Glass Sellers. The regatta will be organised by the Sea View Yacht Club on September 12th. The event will begin on Friday 11th September evening with an informal supper when we hope that you bring not only your crews but as many supporters as you can muster.
The format for the sailing will be as follows:
09.00 – Briefing Meeting
10.00 – First Mermaid Race for the first 12 Livery Companies
11.30 – Second Mermaid Race for second 12 Livery Companies
12.00 – Lunch
14.00 – Third Race for the last 6 Mermaids in the first and second races
15.30 – Final Mermaid Race for first 6 in the first and second races to establish to winner.
19.00 – Reception and Prize-giving. Dress Smart Casual especially if you think you are a prize winner!
20.15 – Dinner
There will be an opportunity to practise on Friday evening from 5pm for which there will be an extra £50 charge.
5pm – Practice Mermaid charter, a chance to hone your skills and have a go
From 7pm – Drinks in the Sea View Yacht Club (casual dress)
8pm ’til late – Supper at the Sea View Yacht Club.

If you wish to enter more than one boat then there will be an additional fee of £200.
Since the regatta raises money for the Lord Mayor’s Appeal and the Seaview Sailing Trust it is usual for the livery company to pay for the charter fee but all the other costs of entertainment to include supper on Friday, the reception, prizegiving and dinner on Saturday would normally be met by the individuals themselves. The cost of this is £100 per person and it would be helpful and save hours of work for the organisers if this cost could be collected by the team captains and remitted in one sum. It would also be helpful if each team would nominate a Team Captain and send us their contact details in order to keep communication simple. The cost of entertaining will be collected on or before 1st September please and sent to the same account as the charter fee. Also it would be greatly appreciated if you could send us the names of the attendees so that we can compile a guest list.
Travel to the Island by Hovertravel or Wightlink FastCat to Ryde is probably the less expensive crossing but none of them are cheap.

City Briefing 10 Sept 2026 - aimed at new Liverymen and Freemen
2026-09-10 17:30 - 19:00
City Briefing 10 Sep 2026 – Livery Committee

The City Briefings are aimed particularly at new Liverymen and Freemen, with partners also being welcome. Court Assistants and longer-standing Liverymen who have not previously attended a Briefing are equally encouraged to take part.
Our next City Briefings will take place on:
Thursday 10 September 2026
Guildhall, 5.30pm – 7.00pm, followed by a networking reception
The Briefings introduce the work of the City of London Corporation, the role of the livery companies within the City, and the Freedom of the City. They also offer attendees the opportunity to ask questions of speakers and meet fellow Liverymen and Freemen during the reception.
We are delighted that Alderman Tim Hailes will be speaking at the September Briefing. Alderman Hailes made history in 2017 as the first openly LGBT person to serve as a Sheriff of the City of London and has since been supported by the Court of Aldermen to serve as the 698th Lord Mayor of London from November 2026.
Places are currently available, and bookings can be made via the Livery Committee website – see link above to book.

Inter-Livery Golf - open to all!
2026-09-07 09:00 - 17:00
We have a core base of over 20 active members, including our current Master, but anyone who is a member of our Livery Company is a de facto member of the Golf Society with no additional subscription. If any member is interested they simply have to express their interest to Paul Druckman on paul.druckman@gmail.com and indicate which fixtures they may be able to play during the season. Paul can provide more details and welcome you with open arms!

Our fixtures are open to all members of our Company.
The golf clubs we play are some of the best in the country, with a strong southern England bias I am afraid. They are a mixture of matches against other Livery Companies and within events run by a Livery Company but with teams from multiple Companies.

Our internal competition is played at Royal Wimbledon on 7th September with only our Livery Company members, a joyous occasion attended by many for the Gardener Challenge Bowls presented by Kenneth Gardener (Senior Past Master) every year.

Please see full fixture list below:
Tandridge – Match v CAGS – 9 April 2026 – Match 4BBB
Ashridge – Horners’ Inter Livery Golf – 10 June 2026 – Team 4BBB

Much Ado About Nothing
2026-07-28 14:00 - 17:00 | Globe Theatre, 21 New Globe Walk, Bankside, London, SE1 9DT, United Kingdom
Sharp tongues and savage gossip fuel a messy, magnetic attraction in this new production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing in the Globe Theatre.
The war is over, but the battle for love is just beginning. Beatrice has sworn off men, but there’s something about Benedick she just can’t leave alone.
Meanwhile, beneath Messina’s polished surface, secrets slip, gossip runs wild and reputations hang by a thread. Everyone’s saving face – and nobody’s doing it very well.
Set in a sun-soaked world of style and status, where image is everything and late-night parties blur into dawn, Chelsea Walker’s (All’s Well That End’s Well, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Globe) Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s most incisive romantic comedies.
An unfiltered look at bad behaviour, second chances, and recovering from old wounds.

‘Therein do men from children nothing differ.’

Tickets: £86.50 please purchase online below
Time: 2pm-4.30pm approx.
Followed by an optional meal at The Swan London nextdoor.

Are ethics good for business?
Join the Financial Services Group (FSG) of Livery Companies for an evening of insight and networking.

So we’re delighted that one of the UK’s fastest growing AI companies, AutogenAI, is hosting this event at their Pentonville Road offices.
Following a welcome from our hosts AutogenAI and FSG Chairman Mark Huxley, Pablo Lloyd OBE will deliver a lecture on ‘Are ethics good for business’. There will then be a panel session and audience Q&A.

FSG invitation - Justice for All Series
2026-06-29 17:00 - 20:30 | Central Criminal Court, The, Old Bailey, London, EC4M 7EH
Introduction:

Justice underpins our freedoms, our economy, and our civic life. Yet our systems are under pressure—underfunded, overstretched, and outdated. The Justice for All Series provides a platform to confront this reality with honesty and ambition.
Conceived by Alderman Robert Hughes-Penney, Sheriff of the City of London (2025–26), and hosted at the Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey), this five-part series brings together those in a position to ask hard questions—and propose evidence-based solutions.
Framed around the anniversaries of Magna Carta (1225) and UN Sustainable Development Goal 16, the series does not seek consensus, but clarity: What does a just society require today? Who must act? And what will it cost us if we do not?

Interlivery Golf Croquet - register your interest
2026-06-27 09:30 - 16:30 | Sussex County Croquet Club, Victoria Road, Southwick, BN42 4DJ
The Interlivery Golf Croquet Competition will be held this year on Saturday 27 June 2026 at Southwick near Brighton, commencing at 9:30am for 10:00am. Many of you will remember that we won the trophy last year – Jonathan Grosvenor and Lynn Pearcy doing an excellent job – and the Chartered Accountants’ Company is taking a team again this year.
We have a full team for this year based on past players and those who were reserves last year.
We would still welcome more members who would like to play, but standing as reserves for this year. If you are interested, please reply by email. If you have a croquet handicap (golf or association) do include that in your email.
Experience of golf croquet is not a requirement though for the competition as there is a short training session before the competition itself begins.
The day is great fun and the Southwick Croquet Club, our hosts, provide lunch and afternoon tea and there is also a pay bar. The day usually finishes around 4:00pm.
We do already have a full team for the current year (unless the team captain breaks a leg as he did last year) but we would really welcome supporters to come along, cheer, have a drink at the bar and meet the members from our own and other liveries. There are limited places for guests for lunch (at £60 per head) but these have to booked in advance. Again, let us know if you would like to come and watch.
Finally, if croquet appeals but you don’t want put your name forward for the team – and there are limited places – or even know little about it and would like to learn – still let us know and we could think about a smaller internal friendly set of games.

Jack and the Beanstalk - Livery Invitation
2026-03-28 17:30 - 19:30 | Brick Lane Music Hall, 443 North Woolwich Road, London, E16 2DA
The team at Brick Lane Music Hall is extending an invitation to members of the Livery Companies of the City of London to join them for a special performance this spring.

For the first time, Brick Lane Music Hall will be presenting an Easter pantomime created especially for families, and we would love to welcome Livery Company members, along with their families, to share in the fun.
On Saturday 28th March, we will be staging Jack and the Beanstalk – An Easter Family Panto Extravaganza, a lively and joyful show filled with music, comedy, audience participation and all the larger-than-life characters that make traditional British pantomime such a beloved part of our theatrical heritage.
Pantomime holds a very special place here at Brick Lane Music Hall. Our annual pantomime for grown-ups has become one of the highlights of the year, celebrating the colourful and mischievous spirit of British Music Hall. In 2025 we were honoured with a Special Award from the UK Pantomime Association for Upholding Pantomime History, Tradition and Heritage, and our productions have also received multiple Fringe Award nominations and glowing five-star reviews.
This new family-friendly version of Jack and the Beanstalk has been created to introduce younger audiences to the joy of live theatre. For many children, pantomime is their very first theatre experience, and those magical memories can last a lifetime.
We would be delighted to welcome members of the Livery community and their families to share in the laughter, fun and festive spirit of this special performance.

The United Guilds’ Service (UGS) was first held in February 1943 as a coordinated response to the challenges faced by the City of London following the Blitz of 1940-41.
It was also a reminder of the religious origins of the Guilds. The first service was held on Lady Day – 25th March 1943 – the first day of the year by the old calendar.
This annual service held at St Paul’s Cathedral is one of the few occasions in the Livery calendar at which all the Livery Companies and Guilds of the City can gather together as a whole – it is always a spectacular occasion, and one not to be missed if you haven’t attended before.
