A message from the Clerk
As we are all aware, this is a busy time for the Company with the Master’s initiative, the presentation of the Royal Charter, the Massey Shaw Dinner and Meet the Firefighters events all coming up very quickly.
In addition, the next major City event is that of the United Guilds Service, which is a fascinating insight to the pageantry of the Livery Movement and one not to be missed. Contact the Clerk’s office for more information.
The Company is trialling a new communication method using Mailchimp, so if you see something from them, please have a look. We still do have some email addresses that are bouncing back, and would like to have a 100% send and receive, so if you know someone is missing emails from the Company, please alert us.

major event over which the Master presides and the Master would certainly appreciate as many members being there as possible to support himself and his wife Lyn. Please book directly through the web-site or let the clerk know.
Ladies Day Out
The ladies and some of their partners enjoyed a day out in the City of London on Monday 16th February , with a tour of the Mansion House, followed by tea on HQS Wellington. The tour of the Mansion House included a trip into the vaults to see some rare Mayoral treasures. A quick walk through the rain ended with some warmth on board this historic ship which saw action at Dunkirk and rescued over 450 naval seamen.
Charter. This, as many of you will know, was recently approved by Her Majesty the Queen. This very prestigious function in the Company’s history will take place at the Insurance Hall commencing at 11.00am on Friday 27th February 2015
Meet the Firefighters
In addition to the Massey Shaw dinner on 4th March, we also have a "Meet the Firefighters" event on 6th March, 11-30 at Winchester House. Claire Mansi is co-ordinating this event - if you know of a prospective member, who would like some information and perhaps could attend this event please let Claire or the clerk know.
The Master's Initiative
The Master has organised a meeting at the East India club for Thursday 19th February (7 pm) to progress greater knowledge within the Company of the activities of the various offices and committees of the Company in order to encourage a broader participative approach by members to the Company. Hopefully, report on this meeting will be circulated in the next newsletter.
