The annual holiday is an immensely enjoyable fixture of the Worshipful Company of Fletchers’ calendar of events. Jeremy Garnett, Master in 1995/96, was the first to arrange an overseas weekend trip, to the 14th and 15th century battlefields of France. This has been followed by trips to places including Bruges, Paris, Guernsey and Andalucia, ranging from two nights to four. The holidays always include a great mix of guided tours of famous sites, wonderful food and wine, great company and excellent hotels. The photo above shows the Fletchers’ trip to Sicily in 2019, where several intrepid Fletchers braved the swinging cable car to visit the active volcano of Etna at 2,500 metres above sea level.
