You are warmly invited to attend our Annual Banquet at Pewterers’ Hall, Oat Lane, London, EC2V 7DE
The Worshipful Company of Pewterers is one of the oldest Livery Companies in the City of London. Records show that it has maintained its involvement with the Pewter trade continuously since 1348 when “the goodfolk, makers of vessels of pewter” sought approval from the Mayor and Aldermen of the city of London for the Articles of their trade. Today the Pewterers’ Company is actively involved with the Pewter trade through support for the Association of British Pewter Craftsmen (ABPC). The ABPC was formed in 1970 as an initiative of the Pewterers Company and its members are required to touchmark their finished products, much as Pewterers were obliged to do in centuries past. The seahorse is the modern touchmark signifying high quality.
The guest speaker will be:
Lord Chris Smith
Master of Pembroke College, Cambridge
We will be entertained by singers from the Guildhall School of Music
At the end of the evening there will be the traditional offering of a Stirrup Cup
6.30 pm for 7.00 pm, Carriages at 10.45 pm
