Monday required me to go to our office in Plaisterers’ Hall
for a meeting with the Clerk, then a session at Fishmongers’ Hall together with
representatives of the Berkhamsted School Foundation regarding a charity dinner
that I had suggested to both parties. Brief explanation – I had found that
there are three Masters this year from Berkhamsted School (Master Musician, Sir
Anthony Cleaver; Master Information Technologist, Michael Webster; and me) and
therefore proposed that we should jointly organise a “livery style dinner”.
I then had a meeting to do with my own business, followed by
a briefing for Masters attending the Ironbridge weekend (in June) at Insurers’
Hall.
Tuesday I had a session with Court Assistant Richard
Christou on the events programme for the year (Richard had agreed to run the
programme as Chairman of Events and is clearly extremely well organised, for
which I am extremely grateful – I suspect that you will see those words
again!).
Wednesday saw my first “Master and Wardens” meeting with me
in the chair – these are held monthly and the intention is to spend ever more
time on the future and strategic items and far less on the minutiae of the
past. We will do our best! One special agenda item was a presentation by our
current investment manager on how our investments are progressing, something
that we will be reviewing more frequently.
Friday saw me at a black tie dinner – but this time at
Berkhamsted School!
