UPCOMING EVENTS
Visit to St Paul's
An event is being organised by Sentinels Tony Skinner and Donald Bond on behalf of the Events Committee inviting members to a guided tour of St Paul's Cathedral on Monday 20th August
Sir Christopher Wren's great masterpiece was built three hundred years ago and is one of the world's great buildings. It is the fifth cathedral to stand on the hill that dominates the ancient City of London, constantly reminding this commercial centre of the spiritual dimension of life.
Firefighters’ Memorial Trust and Wreath Laying Ceremony
A notice from the Memorial Trust advising of a change of date to Sunday 9th September for the Firefighters’ Memorial Trust Service and Wreath Laying Ceremony.
The Service will be held at The Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great. Those wishing to attend should take their seats by 1145hrs. After the Service, at about 13.00 hours, the bands standards and attendees will parade to the Firefighters’ Memorial.
Annual City Dinner Invitation
An invitation is extended to the 2012 Annual City Dinner hosted by Past Master Sir Ken Knight, Chief Fire and Rescue Adviser to be held at the City HQ of Catlin Insurance Company Ltd, on Tuesday 13th November 2012 – 6-30 start, carriages at 10pm.
In addition to enjoying superb views across the City and the excellent food and wine provided through the generous hospitality of Catlin, our primary objective is to raise money for The Worshipful Company of Firefighters Charitable Trust and for Youth and Education and Training Programmes associated with the Fire Service. All the proceeds will be devoted to these two worthy charitable objectives.
Places can be reserved to join Sir Ken and a host of City and Fire Service/Industry VIP guests and are set at £100 each (VAT does not apply because it is a charitable event). You are invited to come on your own, bring guests or make up a round table of up to 10 places. Anyone interested should contact Tony Skinner.
The present Cathedral was built between 1675 and 1710. St. Paul's has celebrated many important events; such as the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, and the funerals of Nelson, Wellington and Churchill.
The programme for the day will start on the main steps of the Cathedral at 10.00am Liveryman Donald Bond will meet those participating and will be responsible for the visit. A tour of the Cathedral will follow which should take about one and a half hours.
