Royal Thames Yacht Club

The Royal Thames Yacht Club has had the great initiative of holding an annual Livery Dinner for members of all the Liveries.  It is a great opportunity to meet Liverymen who are not necessarily Masters of their Companies but nonetheless are keen supporters.  This year I was very kindly invited as the guest of Broderer Sue Bonham.  It was delightful evening that started on the Club’s terrace overlooking Hyde Park and enabled to enjoy such spectacles as the Household Cavalry returning from Horse Guards.  The dinner was hosted by Broderer Michael Gardner who is Vice Commodore of the Club and I was pleased to say encouraged a significant number of other Broderers to join us.  If they were expecting the Master’s Song they were disappointed and had to make do with a few words from me on behalf of the guests, all of whom appeared to enjoy themselves immensely.
