The Modern Livery Companies’ Autumn Dinner this year was organised and hosted by The Worshipful Company of World Traders (the 101st Livery Company) at the Wax Chandlers’ Hall. The principal guest was Alderman Charles Bowman, one of the three Aldermen in line for election to Lord Mayor on 29th September. As Master of the Company that will organise and host the next Modern Companies’ Dinner in the Spring of next year, I was privileged to be sitting on the top table between the Master World Trader and the Master Lightmonger. The Dinner was also attended by Simon Catford, the Thames Warden, and by our Clerk, Ralph Riley.An excellent meal with fine wines was followed by an interesting speech from Alderman Bowman about the Livery and his view of how it might progress in the coming years.
An excellent evening and a challenge to live up to next March!
