The Company, along with many other Livery Companies, has for many years sponsored a prize for Environmental Conservation at the City of London Freemen’s School which is located in Ashtead, Surrey. The Master is invited to attend the school for the full day’s events. Sandra and I arrived for the Senior School music Concert in the morning which was held in the newly constructed Recital Hall. The programme was entitled “Royal Wedding Revisited” and included music performed by pupils and one or two ex-pupils that was included in the recent wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. I have to say that the standard of the performances was absolutely amazing.
We were then treated to Lunch, followed by the Senior School Prize Giving. This was attended by Sheriff Tim Hailes, standing in for the Lord Mayor. Prior to the actual ceremony we were entertained by some of the School’s music scholars. There were well over a hundred prizes given in Academic, Service to the School and Sport categories for the Upper School and Sixth Form. The Company’s prize for Conservation was given to a young lady in the Sixth Form who we had the pleasure to meet in the following reception.
There were numerous events taking place over the whole day which we took advantage of viewing. A very memorable occasion.
