The Mistress was delighted to receive an invitation from the
Mistress Security Professional to attend their Ladies Lunch at the wonderful
Drapers’ Hall. She needed no second bidding and so whilst the Master was hard
at work promoting the Company at the Clean City Awards lunch, the Mistress made
her way over to Throgmorton Avenue!
The Drapers’ Hall needs no introduction but the Mistress
Security Professional had organised a behind the scenes tour of this
magnificent building. The assembled guests were given some little-known facts
including the story of the refurbishment of the four great tapestries (now
nearly complete). Fascinating stuff.
There then followed a lovely lunch expertly served by the
in-house catering team. After the Loyal and Civic toast and a speech of welcome
by both the Master and Mistress Security Professional, former Sheriff and now
Patron of the City Consorts, Mrs Fiona Adler took centre stage. She gave a
delightful speech and thanked all six visiting Consorts (including Consort of
the present Aldermanic Sheriff, Amanda Keavney) for their attendance. Some
‘guilty secrets’ about each were revealed but space does not allow further details
on this occasion! Suffice to say a good time was had by all.
The event was kindly sponsored by Estée Lauder and so there were one
or two gifts available to take away. The Mistress is now fully stocked with
scented candles!
A lovely social occasion and thanks are due to the Mistress
Security Professional and her team for all the hard work. Pictures show the magnificent
Livery Hall and one of the tapestries (plus some of the ladies who lunch!).
