A special ‘Meet The Master’ event was held at Butchers’ Hall at the beginning of March to introduce the Butchers’ Company to potential new Liverymen and Young Butchers.
It was the second time the Worshipful Company of Butchers has staged an evening for new members, as the Recruitment Committee improves our engagement with people working in the meat and related industries. Indeed to help remove any smoke and mirrors there may be about Livery Companies.
The event was attended by a number of existing Liverymen who were on hand to share their experiences and answer any questions about the Company, the joining process and the activities the Livery are involved in across education, charity, as well as sports and social events.
Warden and Recruitment Committee chairman, John Allton Jones said: “It was a pleasure to see so many at our second ‘Meet the Master’ event and to introduce potential new members to the Worshipful Company of Butchers. We hope those who attended choose to join the Livery, a special and historic institution that we all enjoy so much.”
During the evening, guests were welcomed by The Master, Tim Dumenil and given some information on the Company and how to start the joining process by the Clerk, Jeff Mason. Liveryman, Claire White shared her experiences of the WCB and the positive impact membership has had.
There was time for a tour of Butchers’ Hall, of course… and everyone agreed that we have a wonderful home to be proud of.
