Master’s blog, stardate 2013.337

On Monday 25^th 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.

I do hope that we will have a good attendance at the carol service on Dec 17^th.
