SUMMARY:Past Masters' and Past Consorts' Meetings and Lunch
DESCRIPTION:This is the occasion at which the Master provides a report to their predecessors\, who give private guidance on issues of the day. The Masters’ Consort does much the same with those who have gone before\, and then everyone meets up for a Lunch. \nThose currently in the chair find the process and the discrete feedback and advice they receive to be very valuable\, and those who attend greatly enjoy the day and contributing to the ongoing development of their Livery Company. \nThis year\, the venue is the lovely Innholders’ Hall\, down near the river at the foot of Dowgate Hill. \nDress is smart business attire and the ticket price is calculated in arrears and billed accordingly.

SUMMARY:St Kilda - Islands at the Edge of the World
DESCRIPTION:Vicky has travelled extensively\, visiting 4 continents outside Europe. But one of her most memorable trips was a visit to St Kilda\, off the west coast of Scotland\, in 2019. \n St Kilda is an archipelago\, some 40 miles west of the Outer Hebrides. It is the UK’s only dual UNESCO World Heritage Site – something that only 39 sites in the world can claim. The distinction has been awarded because of St Kilda’s natural and cultural heritage. \nVicky will share with us the highs and lows of her own trip\, including the challenges of actually getting there. She will also tell us about the history\, prehistory\, nature and geology of the islands. \nThis event is free to attend – see flyer/email for zoom joining details.

SUMMARY:United Guilds Service
DESCRIPTION:SORRY: This event sold out in just four days! \nAt a meeting of the City’s Livery Companies in 1943\, it was decided to hold a Service in St Paul’s Cathedral\, to lift the spirits of the City after the Blitz\, which had only recently ended\, having wrought such devastation on the capital in particular. This has now become an annual event\, held in the presence of the Bishop of London\, the Lord Mayor\, Sheriffs and Aldermen\, and is one of the few occasions where the Liveries and Guilds all worship together. \nAdmission is by ticket only. We always take a party to the service\, usually using our full allocation of places. The service starts at 11.30am (though we have to be seated before then) and after it ends at about 12.30pm\, we and lots of other Liveries and Guilds walk the short distance to the lovely Plaisterers’ Hall for a drinks reception followed by what is always a pretty lively\, three-course Lunch. \nWe are usually allocated 23 places\, but I haven’t been told this year’s number. Members can bring one guest\, and bookings will be honoured on a first-come-first-served basis. \nThe UGS is naturally free (The Company makes a donation centrally\, and there is the usual collection during the service.)\, and places at the lunch afterwards cost £89 each\, inc Vat. \nSORRY: This event sold out in just four days!

SUMMARY:Lord Mayor's Big Curry Lunch
DESCRIPTION:This annual City institution has grown over the years until it is now quite the largest and swankiest Curry Lunch one is every likely to attend\, and very much a sight to be seen. \nTickets cost £100 and for that we get a drinks reception in the Old Library at Guildhall and then move through into the Great Hall\, where teams of chefs man a series of serveries\, with a mouth-watering series of curries laid out on them\, along with the usual accompaniments. \nWe always take a party\, so book your place(s) here and then we can all coordinate over timings\, as the event itself runs from Noon to 3pm\, with various time slots on offer.

SUMMARY:Spring Dinner for Members and Potential Members
DESCRIPTION:Glaziers’ Hall is unique – not because it actually stands outside the City boundaries\, as Gunmakers\, Distillers and Architects do so too – but because it is the only one shared by three Companies. Quite how the Glaziers\, Launderers and Scientific Instrument Makers got together\, much less co-operated on something as potentially contentious as the purchase and maintenance of a Hall\, remains a subject of debate. However\, it really is an amazing building\, with some spectacular rooms looking north across the river towards the Square Mile\, and the stunning engineering of London Bridge on its right flank. \n\nThe Master is holding our Common Hall at Glaziers’ Hall from 6pm to 6.45pm\, and then we are moving on to a drinks reception (very necessary after the stress of our AGM!) in the stunning River Room\, before enjoying a buffet supper\, complete with a performance by the well-known London band: Lady and the Dukes. \n\nThis will be a fun event and by tradition is confined to Members and guests who are themselves prospective Members. \n\n\nPlaces cost just £54\, so come and enjoy an evening of good food and drink\, plus some fine music\, with your fellow Members and other CAs whom you think might be interested in joining our ranks.

SUMMARY:City Walk and Drink
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a fascinating walk and a little competition! \nStart: Business Centre  Chartered Accountants Hall at 5.30pm on Tuesday 3rd May \nBring a small team (3-5) or we will put you in teams. There will be a prize for the winning team! \nThe walk is approximately two miles and is suitable for people in wheelchairs. It will finish with drinks and canapes in the St Paul’s area. \nOn this walk you will discover how this square mile maintained a global empire through its control of trading\, skills and culture. See how formal trading was initially centred on 17th century coffee houses in alleys between the River Thames and the Royal Exchange.  Edward Lloyds’ Coffee House was the best attended and grew into a vital business in the City. Learn how the 110 livery companies controlled the skills of the traders through their guilds.  Find evidence of the Anglican church spreading its word through that very same trading empire and having its own impact. You will witness how the Square Mile first supported slavery and then mercifully turned its influence to abolish this abhorrent trade. To assist this narrative the walk will take you past The Bank of England\, the site of former coffee houses\, the offices of various City institutions\, The Mansion House\, Guildhall\, The London Stock Exchange and St Paul’s Cathedral.

SUMMARY:History of Tax - Paying for the Renaissance (online event)
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how the Renaissance was paid for? \nFlorence was one of Italy’s richest city-states but also one whose rulers were acutely conscious of both the shortfalls of the tax base on which it rested and the problems the tax system was causing (such as depopulation). The talk will cover what was taxed and how as well as other features of Florentine finance that tackled tax evasion. \nThe speaker Andrew Loader is a former history scholar of Christ’s College\, Cambridge and Past Consort of the Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers. \nThis event will be on zoom\, is free to attend and no prior booking is necessary.

SUMMARY:Shrieval Election and Lunch at Guildhall
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. Each autumn Liverymen elect the next year’s Lord Mayor and every summer\, it’s the turn of the two Sheriffs. The Shrieval election ceremony starts at noon (There is no admission after 11.45am.) and ends around 12.30-12.45pm. Dress is lounge suit for men and smart day wear for ladies. \nAfter Common Hall\, most Liveries go home\, but our Master always hosts a private Reception and Lunch. We go up to Guildhall’s roof terrace on the fourth floor for the Reception and then into the Aldermen’s Dining Room for lunch. The day is very much one for partners and guests too. \nThis year\, as an extra\, it has been possible to secure some places at the annual Armed Forces Flag Raising in Guildhall Yard. For those who would like to stay on to see it\, this takes place at 3.15pm\, lasts about 30 minutes\, and is rather a nice sign of respect for our military from the City. \nCommon Hall and the Flag Raising are free\, and this year the Lunch costs £75. The Dining Room only holds 28 guests\, so places will have to be allocated on as first-come-first-served basis.

SUMMARY:Grange Festival Visit to see Verdi's Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:The Grange Festival is one of those extraordinary events that is really hard to describe. You have to see it to believe it – especially as it is about so much more than the performances themselves. Sparkling wine from The Grange vineyard; delicious\, sesonal and unpretentious food\, made from beautiful locally sourced ingredients and venue like no other in opera. \nAs you sink into one of the comfortable seats in our elegant indoor theatre\, expect to be wowed by performances curated by artistic director Michael Chance CBE\, who is dedicated to bringing the very best opera and dance to this unusual setting near Winchester. \nVerdi wrote Macbeth in 1847 for the Teatro della Pergola in Florence. The theatre at The Grange is of similar proportions. \nFor Verdi\, Shakespeare’s Macbeth was ‘one of mankind’s greatest creations’. His version of the play is full of threat and ferocity\, an intense exploration of ruthless ambition in a world governed by superstition and violence. Lady Macbeth dominates and the chorus\, who are both observers and protagonists\, is given some of Verdi’s most thrilling choral writing. \nWe are delighted to have been offered an exclusive package for up to 20 people\, for £230 each. This includes a top-price ticket to the performance; a three-course Dinner in the House made with delicious locally sourced ingredients and an invitation to the Artistic Director’s post-performance drinks reception with Michael Chance.

SUMMARY:St Paul’s Cathedral Orchestral Mass followed by Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Since 1973\, Orchestral Masses had been a well-established annual feature of choral worship at St Paul’s Cathedral. The Masses stopped during the lockdown and the lack of tourist income meant the Cathedral was not in a position to reintroduce them. \nThe Charity Trustees agreed last year to make a donation to St Paul’s to enable the first Orchestral Mass since the pandemic to be held. As a result an Orchestral Mass by Mozart will be held under the Dome of St Paul’s as part of the Sunday morning Eucharist on Sunday 10th July at 11:15am. Members and their guests are invited to attend the mass. There is no charge although contributions to St Paul’s would be welcome. \nAfter the Mass the team at St Paul’s have invited representatives from the Company to join them for pre-lunchtime drinks in the Chapter House\, so that they may express their gratitude for the Charity’s support. You are welcome to join us for lunch at Cote afterwards – places for lunch are limited to 20.

SUMMARY:Swan Upping on the Thames near Henley
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWe 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! \nTickets 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. \n  \n\nTicket sales have now ended for this event.
