My first day as Master was “full on” as following the
Installation Lunch I attended a Court Dinner as a guest of the Worshipful
Company of Paviors. This was a “Black Tie” event held at Cutlers’ Hall. The
present Paviors’ Company received its grant of Livery in 1900, although records
of the Paviors stretch back to 1280 when they were first made responsible for
the repair and cleaning of London streets and pavements.
An excellent dinner with a magnificent selection of wines
was followed with an interesting and informative speech by Nick Baveystock,
formerly a Brigadier in command of the Royal School of Military Engineering and
the current Director General of the Institute of Civil Engineers.
My thanks to the Master Pavior, Miles Ashley, for his
invitation.
