The Master and Clerk were cordially invited to the first Masters and Clerks lunch at the newly opened Carmen Hall. The lunch was the first official use of the hall for members of other Livery Companies as the Carmen have only just opened. Situated in Fleet Street it has meeting rooms, offices and hall large enough to seat 40. The opening saw Masters and Clerks of 22 companies, a great introduction for the Master to meet more of his peer group ahead of the Livery weekend in Sheffield this weekend.
