COURT, CAROL SERVICE, AND CHRISTMAS SUPPER – TUESDAY 16TH DECEMBER
On Tuesday 16th December, the Court met at Information Technologists’ Hall for its Christmas meeting – at which the Master admitted two new Court Assistants (Liveryman George Duncan and John Whitehead), one new Liverymen (Lorna Slater), and three new Freemen (Jack Mander, Karen Nally, Nicola Hall).
The Church of Saint Bartholomew the Great then provided a wonderful setting in which members of the Company joined others associated with the Parish (Actuaries, Butchers, Communicators, Farmers, Fletchers, Founders, Hackney Carriage Drivers, and, as recent addition, Glass Sellers), for the annual Inter-Livery Carol Service.
The Church was absolutely full, as ever, and the Service magnificent. You may wish to put a note in your diary for 2026: the Carol Service will be on Tuesday 15th December.
From the Carol Service, a short walk to Supper at Butchers’ Hall, where a strong cohort from the Company – joined by other Companies again – filled the Great Hall, with festive cheer and bonhomie. A short choral performance, by Rupert Gough (Great Saint Bart’s Director of Music) and two of his choristers (Cecily Beer and Hannah Dienes Williams), provided an uplifting prelude to a splendid Supper.
The Master concluded the evening with good wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
