On Monday 25th
November I attended the Ruthin Town Council meeting to explain about our
celebration of Hugh Myddleton’s work and my position as Master of the Water
Conservators; this led up to me asking that the silver chalice which Hugh
presented to the town in 1613 could be brought to London for the Myddleton
lunch. I am pleased to report that I
will be bringing the chalice with me under the protection of my Bailiff. The chalice will be placed in the centre of
the top table. It is a rather fine piece
of silver. The Myddleton lunch promises
to be quite an event with some very interesting guests being brought along by
liverymen, and of course all taking place with the Lord Mayor Alderman Fiona
Woolf CBE as our principal guest.
I attended
the Past Master’s meeting at the Guildhall on 27th November and presented my
report on the first half of my year. I
became very enthused about Perspectives which everyone will hear about very
shortly after the Xmas Court. One
perspective has already been written and two more are underway. My hope is that these will become a unique
feature of the Water Conservators Company so watch this space. Lunch with the Past Masters and their wives
was very pleasant indeed.
