Events

You are cordially invited to attend the London Mark Provincial Mess Annual Luncheon to be held at Bakers’ Hall, Harp Lane, London EC3R 6DP on Wednesday 29 November 2023. The doors will open at 11:30 & members are invited for a pre-lunch drink. Members must be seated by 12:00 as the talk will commence at 12:15.

 

The date has had to be changed from 6 October due to the planned Tube strike.

 

The speaker is V.W. Bro. Surg.Cdr, Nigel Scott-Moncrieff, RN, PGMO, PDepGDC. His talk will be entitled “Memories of Her Majesty’s Yacht Britannia and other stories”.

 

Members of the Mess are encouraged to invite Craft and Mark Brethren not only to hear the speaker but to experience at first hand the legendary friendliness of London Mark in the beautiful and historic Bakers’ Hall.

 

The cost of the event remains at £65.00 which includes a three-course lunch with cheese & biscuits, half a bottle of wine and 10 Year Old Tawny Port. As ever, the lunch will be informal: lounge suit, no regalia and no seating plan. The Provincial Mess tie should be worn by members of the Mess, and will be available to purchase prior to the lunch at a cost of £20 each.

 

Please advise Krit Nathoo if you wish to attend (details below). Please note that no tickets will be issued. Should you require a Vegetarian, Vegan, Kosher, Coeliac or any variant please advise ASAP.

 

Your Mess Committee and I look forward very much to seeing you there.

 

Sincerely and fraternally,

 

V.W. Bro. Jack Cohen, PGJO, Mess Secretary.
