What a pleasure it was to welcome members and guests to the impressive Cutler’s Hall for our Annual Banquet. In particular it was good to have representatives of Thames Water and Hydraulic Analysis, two of our Corporate Members, with us. Also Commander Nick Foster, commander of HMS Scott, with which the Company has a close affiliation. It was also good to have ladies from the Poplar and Blackwell District Rowing Club, who have been outstanding in winning every race in our Cutter, with us.
I was also pleased to welcome an old friend, Ian Harris, the Chief Executive of the Wine and Spirit Education Trust as the guest speaker. Ian’s speech was both interesting and humorous. We were also well entertained by students from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama with their renditions of songs from stage shows.
Judging from the noise level of conversation and the applause it seems that the evening was enjoyed by all.
