Master's Speech, 19.12.16
Page 1 of 4 Wardens, My Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Alderman, Masters, Prime Wardens, Distinguished Guests. Fellow Turners, Ladies and Gentlemen. A very good evening to you all and welcome to this wonderful Skinners’ Hall. It is always a pleasure to dine under the atmospheric murals painted by Sir Frank Brangwyn and I sincerely thank Skinners Company for allowing us to be here. Thank you Master Skinner. This Hall, like Turners’ first Hall in Philpott Street, was burnt to the ground in the Great Fire of 1666. This catastrophic event has been widely commemorated through-out the City during the last six months with numerous exciting activities. These Commemorations culminated in the impressive burning of the wooden model of the City on a barge moored by Blackfriars Bridge … a most remarkable and memorable spectacle. However, there is still a fascinating exhibition at the Museum of London that should not be missed. In the excellent catalogue titled “Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker - Surviving the Great fire of London”, there is a whole chapter relating to the 17th Century ‘Turning’ Trade in the City and identifies fascinating new information on the business relationship between Samuel Pepys and a Mr Howells, a Turner in Tower Street, who specialised in turning Lignum Vitae. It’s on is on until April 2017. My Lord Mayor, we greatly appreciate you and the Sheriffs taking the time to join with us this evening, particularly as we know what a busy schedule you all have. You are the 689th person to have been elected to this high office and the dedication that you have shown to the City over the years is legendary. -

Committee(S): Policy and Resources Date: 3 June 2021
Committee(s): Date: Policy and Resources 3 June 2021 Subject: Public Amendment to an Act of Common Council - Aldermanic Elections Which outcomes in the City Corporation’s Corporate Plan does this proposal aim to impact directly? Does this proposal require extra revenue and/or No capital spending? If so, how much? N/A What is the source of Funding? N/A Has this Funding Source been agreed with the N/A Chamberlain’s Department? Report of: Town Clerk For Decision Report Author: Lorraine Brook Summary The Act of Common Council (as amended) of 14 July 1960 requires that, following the death, resignation (surrender of Office) or disqualification of an Alderman, the matter shall be reported by the Town Clerk to the next regular meeting of the Court of Aldermen. 1 A report of such matters to the Court of Aldermen shall, as per paragraph 4 of the Act of Common Council, result in a Wardmote being summoned and held for the election of an Alderman of the Ward within forty-two working days.

Songs and Music of the City of London: a New Pocket Guide to the City of London’S Contemporary Activities Involving Music in All Its Facets
June 2021 Dear Clerks to the several City of London Livery Companies, Following the culmination of a two-year project, we are pleased to announce the publication of Songs and Music of the City of London: a new pocket guide to the City of London’s contemporary activities involving music in all its facets. We are delighted that Alderman Sir Andrew Parmley, Lord Mayor of London (2016-17), has written the Foreword. The guide covers education, performance and composition of music, whether in the City’s churches, schools, in the Barbican Centre, on the City’s streets such as during the Lord Mayor’s Show, or through sponsorship by the Livery Companies through education and awards. It also includes the various anthems, songs and sung graces of the City’s Livery Companies. In our research for content, we have been constantly surprised at every turn by such a rich abundance of musical talent, events, venues, and performing groups concentrated in such a small geographic area. In our belief that hitherto no single existing publication has captured the immense array of ways in which the City benefits wider society through the medium of music, the aim of our guide is to fill this gap by means of a concise, accessible guide for all. The publication takes the form of a pocket guide, equally suited to the needs of the tourist, the City worker, and those among the Livery Companies and affiliated organisations who have an interest in the musical events and activities within the City. The material is intended for a generalist audience rather than the music aficionado. -

Fighting Economic Crime - a Shared Responsibility!
THIRTY-SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ECONOMIC CRIME SUNDAY 1st SEPTEMBER - SUNDAY 8th SEPTEMBER 2019 JESUS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Fighting economic crime - a shared responsibility! Centre of Development Studies The 37th Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Fighting economic crime- a shared responsibility! The thirty-seventh international symposium on economic crime brings together, from across the globe, a unique level and depth of expertise to address one of the biggest threats facing the stability and development of all our economies. The overarching theme for the symposium is how we can better and more effectively work together in preventing, managing and combating the threat posed by economically motivated crime and abuse. The programme underlines that this is not just the responsibility of the authorities, but us all. These important and timely issues are considered in a practical, applied and relevant manner, by those who have real experience whether in law enforcement, regulation, compliance or simply protecting their own or another’s business. The symposium, albeit held in one of the world’s leading universities, is not a talking shop for those with vested interests or for that matter an academic gathering. We strive to offer a rich and deep analysis of the real issues and in particular threats to our institutions and economies presented by economic crime and abuse. Well over 700 experts from around the world will share their experience and knowledge with other participants drawn from policy makers, law enforcement, compliance, regulation, business and the professions. The programme is drawn up with the support of a number of agencies and organisations across the globe and the Organising Institutions and principal sponsors greatly value this international commitment. -
