Packed Winter Lunch hears from Master's Charity
Written by David Worsfold on 17th March 2025

Over 250 members and guests gathered in the splendid surroundings of Drapers' Hall for our Winter Lunch.
Master Karl Jarvis presided over the proceedings, telling people about his three-pronged Master's theme of 'Levelling Up the Playing Field'. He also introduced Dame Susan Langley who spoke briefly to thank the Company for its support in her career and journey through the ranks of the City Civic.
The contributions from Shelley Simmonds and Janet Doghan from Barrow Farm and Riding for the Disabled, the Master's Charity were warmly received by the audience.
At the Court meeting beforehand, five members were clothed in the Livery.
• Yasmin Carter-Esdale
• Katherine Gatehouse
• Darren Lester
• Gary O’Neil
