This was a grand occasion. The Lord Mayor and the City of London including the Livery Companies are strong supporters of Treloar’s which is a primary, secondary and tertiary school/college in Alton, Hampshire for young people with a range of physical disabilities. They offer around 170 students aged 4 to 25 years with complex care and learning needs a specialist environment where education and learning take place alongside therapy and care. It aims to help them lead as independent lives as possible.
The Master and his Consort joined a table with the Master and Consort Watermen and Plasterers and other friends. After a champagne reception the serious work started. There was some successful guessing of the flip of a coin. The Master survived four rounds on the table before crashing out. During the meal there were a series of auctions, which attracted generous bids. We were then entertained by singers and music from the London Stage. The table actively joined in with the dancing/actions. It was great fun.
Finally the evening finished with a silent auction.
The evening was a sell out and successfully raised about £500,000 for the school. Everyone was a winner.
