The Worshipful Company of Firefighters' Livery

Dinner

On 27th January, the Livery Dinner was held in the East

India club. Peter Hopkins reports that he always makes a

point of attending this dinner over other functions as it

really allows him to catch up with fellow livery members in

a lively, convivial and relaxing atmosphere, despite the

formal wear. The meal is always excellent and there are

good opportunities to talk and learn from fellow diners

about personal and livery activities. It was from the dinner

last year that Peter learned from members of London Fire

Brigade of the special WW1 celebrations at Ypres last

year. This year, he had the chance to sit with the Beadle,

John Norris, who had persuaded Peter to join the

Company many years before, so a good chance to catch

up with him over port. Peter highly recommends members

to put the event into their diary for next year.
