Installation Dinner - 28 September 2016
Thursday 6 October 2016
The Installation Dinner was held at Fishmongers' Hall and was preceded by our Annual Service combined with a Choral Evensong at Southwark Cathedral.
We were welcomed to the Cathedral by The Reverend Canon Gilly Myers. Lessons were read by the Master and Master Elect and the prayers were led by Liverymen Bryan Knight, Jill Cox, Christopher Franklin and Lynette Stone CBE.
The Sermon was given by our Honorary Chaplain, the Right Reverend Christopher Chessun, Bishop of Southwark and is available to download from the Forms and Downloads Section in the Members' area.
The Hall was filled to capacity with 186 attending. During the evening, the Master, Martyn Chase, installed Dame Elizabeth Fradd DBE DL as the new Master who then installed Colin Tiffin as Senior Warden and Anthony De Lacey as Junior Warden.
We were entertained during the dinner by Natalia and Friends from the Guildhall School of Music, by kind permission of the Principal.
At the Court meeting held earlier four new Liverymen were admitted and they were warmly welcomed at the dinner. They are Mrs Jackie Foster, Mr Kenneth Standish, Mr David Staples and Mr Steven Monger-Godfrey.
