This weekend the Master hosted a fabulous trip to Bath for his Master's Weekend. Liverymen and Freemen of the Company enjoyed an open top bus tour & a visit to the Holborn Museum, before a relaxing Avon river cruise. Then dinner at the city's Roman Baths - a World Heritage site.

It is with great sadness that we have heard about the tragic death of an RAF pilot from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Our hearts go out to everyone at the BBMF, and our thoughts and condolences are with them, and the pilot's family and friends at such a difficult time.
