It is a great feeling to start the New Year with a Company
event! Holding the Myddelton Lunch on
the 13th January. and preceding that with the Myddelton Service For
The Re-Dedication of The Livery has a wonderful sense of renewal and fresh
beginnings about it.
This January saw a change of venue for our Myddelton
Service, as we moved from St Mary –at- Hill to All Hallows By The Tower. The
Service was attended by a good number of Past Masters and their Consorts , as
well as other members of the Company . It represented the “ the swansong “ for
Bishop Rose Hudson – Wilkin , as she has sadly been obliged to relinquish her role
as Hon Chaplain to the Company , given her obligations now as Bishop of Dover.
Upon the conclusion of the Service, led by our Beadle , we
processed the short distance to Trinity House for the Myddelton Lunch
.Following a meal that by popular acclaim was considered outstanding, we were
entertained by an speech from the Principal Guest, Aldermanic Sheriff Michael
Mainelli , who wove the Role of the Sheriff, Green Finance, and Brexit into an
informative and amusing speech . After the Master’s speech in reply , the
Master made a presentation of one of the Company’s water jugs to Bishop Rose to
thank her for her five years of outstanding service to the Company as Honorary
Chaplain.
All too soon, our Beadle bade us leave the Stirrup Cup as
time was up!
A wonderful way to start a New Year!
