Church Service and Buffet Supper - St James Garlickhythe
18th September 2014 - 5.00pm
The Company will be holding its annual Church Service followed by a buffet supper at St James Garlickhythe on Thursday 18th September. The church is a unique 17th century City Church, a sacred place since 1100 AD. Wren rebuilt St James in 1683 to be full of light, since when it has become known as ‘Wren’s Lantern’.

Election of Lord Mayor and Lunch - 29th September
"These are to require you to cause notice to be given to all the liverymen of your company to appear at Guildhall on Monday 29 September, next, for the election of a Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, for which purpose the Lord Mayor will take the chair at 11.45 am, precisely."
The election will be preceded by the customary service at the Guild Church of St Lawrence Jewry-next-Guildhall at 10.45am and tickets for the election may be obtained from the Clerk.
The Company has also booked a table for lunch at Stationers’ Hall at 12.30 for 1pm. Drinks will be served before luncheon which will be 3 courses with red and white wine and a glass of port. The cost is £60 per head inc VAT and bookings may be made through our website. The lunch combines the best of both worlds - the Company has its own table so Members can be together but in a room with many other companies so there will be plenty of opportunites to mingle before and after the formal lunch.

Lord Mayor's Show - Saturday 8th November

There are two stands by St Paul’s, one on each side of the processional rout, and the seats are always booked up by the end of September. Tickets cost £37.50 each, including VAT and a copy of the commemorative programme and further information and a booking form can be obtained by contacting the website www.lordmayorshow.org Tickets are usually sent out in early October but you will receive confirmation of your booking by email.
