FROM THE TRAINING OFFICER 10 In February 2012, I attended the Annual Conference & training in Hertford, which was very well attended and hugely successful, with the newly appointed Joe Caruana, Prime Warden and Owen Collier, Renter Prime Warden. The members came from all over the country and were not disappointed with the level of training incorporated in the programme, with Hertford County Crime Prevention Officer, Colin Clare, providing valuable information regarding our personal property and being aware of our surroundings when on Mayoral duties. Regarding the Mayoral chains, Mr Clare, informed us that the price of gold has risen considerably over last few years, which may draw jewellery thieves to go for GOLD. Mr Clare, did advise us to visit and register on this website: - www.imobilse.com. Mr Ray Charlton, who now owns the civic robes company Michael's of Bristol, presented a great understanding of how to care for all your Mayoral attire. There were so many questions on this subject that, unfortunately, we ran out of time! Mr William Hunt, College of Arms, provided us with a great understanding of his work and how the Windsor Herald has helped for thousands of years. I am hoping to organise a tour of the College of Arms as I am sure many members would be keen to visit. Details will be available on the Guild website. Tony Sharp, President of the City of London Ward Beadles, gave a presentation Ward Beadles and their involvement in the City with the Lord Mayor. More details of this can be found later in this magazine. Finally, I would stress that it would be great if we could increase the London's Guild member’s attendance at our conferences.

A DIAMOND YEAR As Mace-Bearers we could not let 2012 pass without mentioning the Diamond Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II. ©John Swannell/Camera Press The Guild of Mace-Bearers sent a scroll congratulating the Queen on her 60 th year as our Sovereign. Her Majesty graciously sent a message of thanks in return. The Queen is not unfamiliar with the Mace-Bearer as the Editor sent a copy to Buckingham Palace in 2011. 11
