Court Dinner – 9 July 2025
This years’ Court Dinner was held in the elegant surroundings of Coopers’ Hall in Devonshire Square, on Wed 09 July 2025.
The Master, Richard Geldard, presided over a friendly and enjoyable gathering of twenty-five Wardens, Court Assistants, Past Masters, and guests – a number already energised by a day of committee meetings at IT Hall.
A daring hypothesis, that Dinner could be conducted successfully without the Beadle’s supervision, proved to be entirely valid. The occasion ran smoothly, and decorum was maintained throughout. Grace by Past Master Erica Stary, and warm words of welcome from the Master, were followed by trout, duck, and pudding – interspersed with spirited conversations around the Company’s highly successful 2024/25 year to date.
At the end of the evening, the Master spoke briefly …
- identifying some highlights of his year so far
- thanking all Court Members for their invaluable supportand
- wishing the Upper Warden, Matthew Peppitt, every success for his year of office.
