Banquet 2022

Tuesday 22 February 2022

After missing out on the event in 2021, Needlemakers were pleased to be back at Mansion House for the annual banquet in 2022. We were pleased to be joined by Lord Mayor Locum Tenens Alderman Sir David Wootton and Lt Gen Sir James Bashall, National President of the Royal British Legion. The Master Philip Law presented a cheque to Sir Andrew for the Lord Mayor's Fund and pledged additional support to RBL this year. Other guests included masters of other livery companies - Gold & Silver Wyre Drawers, Gardeners, Spectacle Makers and Nurses.

Entertainment was supplied by the London Banqueting Ensemble and members and guests enjoyed hearing the post horn gallop once more.

The loving cup was a symbolic gesture this year with guests toasting each other with their own glass instead of the traditional passing and drinking from the same silver goblet.
