Master's Dining Out
4th June 2013Pont de la Tour
By tradition the Master is dined out by his Wardens shortly before the Installation of his successor.
The format has varied over the past ten years from a small pub dinner with just the Master and Wardens to wider affairs at a smart restaurant with wives and partners included. This year was a bit of both.
We were able to fix the date as being the eve of the Installation which allowed us to get into the 'Installation mood' early. The venue was the Pont de la Tour at Butler's Wharf on the South Bank. The food and wine were excellent and we were able to suitably thank Michael Prideaux for his outstanding year and particularly his generosity in providing the Livery with such excellent wines at all of our functions.
