The Royal Thames Yacht Club kindly provided the venue for the New Members’ Evening, which was held following a Committee meeting on 9 February 2009. The members who attended were also able to dine. A number of new Freemen were able to join us, as well as some prospective members.

These included David Marsh, with his wife Carol; David Woods; Edward Daniell; Jenny Jones and Nick Brown. We were also joined by the Prime Warden of the Blacksmiths’ Company, Keith Gabriel.
