As the title suggests, this is a group of Livery Companies numbered from 101 upwards. Although established at the beginning of the millennium around the time when the Company of Water Conservators took livery, the early activity was fairly limited and even led to a period of inactivity. However, in recent years with the arrival of several more new Companies the idea of lunches was resurrected and the Information Technologists’ Company (number 100), in whose hall recent lunches have been held, have also been included. The Company of World Traders have taken on the role of hosting the event and invitations are extended to the Masters and Clerks of the eligible Companies.
I was delighted to attend this year’s event and was seated on the top table next to the Master World Trader, Michael Mainelli. We were treated to an excellent meal and fine wines after which we adjourned to the local hostelry for the The Styrrup Cup! A splendid day and start to the weekend!
