74. Mansion House, 10 March

Each year, The Lord Mayor and The Lady Mayoress invite The Masters, Prime Wardens and Upper Bailiff of the Livery Companies of the City of London into their home at the Mansion House for Dinner. The purpose is to celebrate and cement the partnership with the Livery Companies and return some of the hospitality received during the year. The opportunity is taken to reflect and review the contribution made by the Livery to UK commerce and community. 

The Lord Mayor summarised the progress made under the banner: Innovate here, Succeed anywhere. He was then presented with some urban skis and challenged by the Master Mercer and Master Grocer to a race around the City. He accepted the invitation with good grace and we look forward to the outcome. The Menu incorporated a splendid picture of a three-decker from the Cent. XVII, believed to be the Prince Royal. A memorable evening.
