59. United Wards’ Club of the City of London

Fiona and I were invited as guests at the United Wards’ Club Founders’ Day Dinner earlier this week (see photograph of invitations).

The Club was founded in a London pub in 1877 by Major J Wieland (and 19 other friends and colleagues) and each year the membership (and their guests) meet to celebrate this event.

The dinner was held at the Farmers & Fletchers Hall (see photograph of Fiona and I in the Livery Hall) with 120 sitting down to an excellent four course meal. The President, Barry Scrutton, welcomed the guests – Masters from five Modern Livery Companies were present with their Consorts.

Many thanks to the President for hosting us at this event.
