"The Boss of IT All" by Lars Von Trier
Soho Theatre from now until 27th July
PM Patrick McHugh's son Tom plays Nalle, a geekish employee in a thriving IT business, staffed by typical stereotypes all talking jargon, that the boss wants to sell. This play, "probably the best Danish office comedy in the world ..." (no we did not say that), is all about faked identities and explosive office politics. Why are we including this? As a 'special', because Patrick believes it should be seen by all management consultants; you should immediately recognise past client engagements!! Failing that it will indirectly support his son!!
HAC and Royal Yeomanry Concert, Guildhall Yard

Our Members have been invited to an exclusive City and Livery Evening at Goldsmiths' Fair on Wednesday 24th September 2014 starting at 6.30pm until 8.30pm; wine and canapés will be served.

Guests will see the most distinctive work in precious metals, can buy direct from the artists and reunite with friends from other Livery Companies. Tickets for the evening, which include a catalogue, are £20. Although the jewellery on offer is quite tempting, it may cost you a great deal more!

The Worshipful Company of Woolmen's Annual Sheep Drive across London Bridge - Sunday 5th October 2014
The Master of the Worshipful Company of Woolmen, Richard Excell, has decreed that they will organise another Sheep Drive across London Bridge this year, following the success of last year’s event. The length of each drive will be a quarter of the length of the bridge and there will be specific photo opportunities for participants; photographs from last year’s event can be seen at www.sharpphoto.co.uk
We have a slot booked at 11am so members may participate in this very special event. If you are interested in coming along please e-mail The Clerk by 1st September so all the arrangements can be made. The level of donation has been kept at £50 per person which will cover the provision of sheep, their health and well-being; the health and safety measures required by current UK law; the traffic control measures required by Transport for London; and a personal certificate signed by the Master of The Company confirming that their rights have been exercised successfully and in accordance with current tradition.
