On Friday 14th October Fiona and I were the guests of the Master Framework Knitter, the Hon Elizabeth Green, at their livery banquet at the Mansion House.
It was a very grand affair in wonderful surroundings. Dress code was white tie for the men and very formal evening attire for the ladies. During the dinner rousing music was provided by the Band of the Royal Yeomanry and in addition to the Master, speeches were given by Sir David Wootton (Lord Mayor 2011-12) and David Mercer (BBC tennis broadcaster).
After consuming a plentiful supply of good food and wine, the Master presented Bursary Awards (£2,500) to eight students and Awards (£1,000) to five students. It was great to see the students at the Banquet and for them to meet with senior members of their industry.
A thoroughly enjoyable event and many thanks to the Master and her Wardens for making us so welcome.
Pretty cool, I heard about this from http://www.acethespace.co.uk/ too!
