137. Fuellers Election Court Luncheon

This week I was a guest at the Worshipful Company of Fuellers Election Court Luncheon. The event was held in the glorious Fishmonger’s Hall and was well attended with four other Modern Company Master’s also invited.

The Fuellers are an interesting Company, because they originally represented the coal industry, but with the demise of coal production in the UK they widened their appeal and membership to cover the whole energy sector.

Grace was said by Peter Mullen, their Chaplain and our erstwhile Chaplain. He is long retired, but well and happily living in Eastbourne.

Following a welcome to the guests given by the Senior Warden, the toast to the Company was proposed by Malcolm Brinded CBE, shortly to become President of the Energy Institute – his speech focused on changing global energy patterns and the fact that there is sufficient available oil for the next 200 years and coal for at least 1,000 years. No worries there then!

Many thanks to the Master Fueller for inviting me and for an informative luncheon.
