The second meeting of the Finance, Membership and General
Purposes Committee in my Mastership took place at the Guildhall on Wednesday
and it was privilege to take the chair. Attended by eleven other members of the
Company including the Wardens, Clerk and Treasurer we quickly got down to
business on what was a full and busy agenda.
Space does not allow for the full details of the meeting to
be discussed here but suffice to say good progress was made on a number of
topics including finance, recruitment (H₂O) and staffing. There is always
so much going on in a vibrant company such as ours and I am grateful to the
Committee for their hard work and expertise. Our concentration was briefly
broken by a Fire Alarm which effected the whole building; but fortunately it
was not raining as we stood outside waiting for the All Clear!
It was also good to report on a number of successful events
held recently including the Annual Banquet and the visit to the Bank of
England. We also discussed the events planned for 2019 which include a New Year
Networking event on 9 January. Good progress is being made with all of these.
The meeting was followed by lunch which gave us the opportunity
to discuss more somewhat abstract matters without the confines of an agenda. Some
very interesting debates were had!
My thanks must go to all the Committee for their input and
good counsel. A great team to work with!
