Report of the Remembrancer.

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Remembrancer updating Members on steps taken to refine co-ordination between the Remembrancer's Office, Mansion House, the Public Relations Office and Economic Development Offices on event planning and delivery over the previous twelve months.

Reference was made to the addition of the Department of Culture Heritage and Libraries to the Central Events Management Group and the need for liaison with others such as the Barbican and GSMD over anniversaries. In response, the Remembrancer stated that the work undertaken on events co-ordination between departments would further develop now that the Group had been established.

The Deputy Chairman requested that a progress report be brought to the Sub-Committee in twelve months.

In response to a Member's question on the relevance of guests at City Corporation events, the Remembrancer added that there was a new system in place to ensure invitations were appropriate and that it was working well.

ii)         an update report be brought to the Sub-Committee at its July 2014 meeting; and

iii)        the Town Clerk produce a resolution for the next meeting of the Hospitality            Working Party.
