We always have fun at our dinners! The Master created an ad hoc Makers of Playing Cards Percussion band to accompany the brilliant Magna Carta Brass ensemble. Let’s just say they were better than us!

Yesterday at our Court meeting, Past Master Anthony Komedera presented the Company with a new Declaration book. We have these going back a very long way. The last one was presented to our Company by his father, in 1989.
