Livery Society Report The annual Livery Society Dinner was held in the Clive Room at the East India Club. We had an excellent turnout with 32 Livery Society members, with the Master, Chaplain and Clerk as our guests. The Dinner is an ideal time to meet with our fellow Liverymen and discuss matters of topical interest. Past Master Brian Burgess gave the Society an interesting insight into the workings of the Charitable Fund. Jane Way organised another successful guided walk around Southwark in June. In early October, Brian Minnighan organised a visit for 14 members and guests of the Livery Society to the Old Bailey which was hosted by the Under Sheriff of Southwark, Charles Henty.  Charles Henty releases some Feltmakers and their spouses from the Old Bailey A visit to the holding cells and a view down hangman’s walk was enough to dampen the spirit of even the most hardened criminal! Supper at Chez Gerard was a lively affair with good food and a plentiful supply of wine. The Livery Society is a forum for the newer Livery members to meet with fellow Liverymen, to become acquainted with the aims and objectives of the Livery and to do so in convivial surroundings. Members of the Livery Society also organise a number of the sporting events during the year - Brian Minnighan, the Livery Clay Shoot; Neil Edwards, the Masters Golf Day; Peter Simeons, the Family Day cricket and Single Wicket Competition and Jeremy Brassington, the Inter Livery Tennis Tournament at Queens Club. We welcome participation in all the Livery Society events and if members of the Livery have any suggestions they would like us to consider or would like to become more actively involved, please do not hesitate to contact Jeremy Brassington at
