63. 09-07-21 Installation Court and Farewell

My last task as Master was to chair the Installation Court and to handover to next year’s Master Peter Hall. This year was a very different to a normal year as Master, and due to the ongoing social restrictions of the pandemic, not as I had originally planned. Nevertheless, it has been a great privilege to serve this Company, and despite being restricted to the virtual world of zoom throughout the 9 months of office, the Company still managed to host an number of successful technical and social events, with the excellent support of our members.

One of the key themes for my year was strengthening our relationship with the City and the Water Conservators have been key supporters of the Livery Climate Action Group to progress various aspects of the City’s Climate Action Strategy.

I am also pleased that this year we reached agreement on the future structure of the Trust and its relationship with the Company in accordance with the wishes of the both the Court and Trustees. And finally, I would like to thank everyone for their support in making a difficult year one with some very special memories and newly formed friendships.

My very best wishes go to Peter Hall as the new Master, his consort Georgina and his Wardens for a successful year taking us out of the pandemic and back to normal activities. Also to offer my thanks to Dave Richards for maintaining this blog so efficiently.
