June Committee Meeting

The Chairman reported that he had invited Mr Peter Taylor of the Goldsmiths’ Company to address the Committee on the new Goldsmith’s Centre at today’s meeting but he had, unfortunately, been unable to attend. However, Mr Taylor had now suggested that the Livery Committee visit the Centre in the near future.

The Chairman suggested that the next Livery Committee be held at the Centre on Wednesday 12 June 2013. The Town Clerk undertook to make the necessary arrangements and to contact members in due course.

Alderman Sir Michael Savory

The Chairman reported that this would be Alderman Savory’s last Livery Committee meeting. He reported on the Alderman’s long civic career and his role as former Lord Mayor. He went on to thank Sir Michael for his many years of distinguished service to the Livery Committee and, on behalf of the Committee, wished him a very long and happy retirement.

Alderman Savory thanked the Chairman for his kind words and highlighted how much he had enjoyed his time on the Livery Committee.
