Past Master’s Report 2015-2016 Every Past-Master tells the new, incoming Master A later challenge was the discovery of dry rot in that he or she will have a most enjoyable year and so it has proved to be. It is a somewhat daunting prospect, but once elected it is indeed a great privilege to serve the Society and the year has passed enjoyably and all-too-swiftly. Past Masters also warn that each Master has one or more challenges (crises might be a more realistic word!) during his year and so it has proved! My first challenge was to be put in charge of recruiting a new Clerk (effectively Chief Executive) to succeed Andrew Wallington-Smith, who was due to retire at Easter after almost a quarter-century of service to the Society. Andrew was a marvellous support to me in the one wing of the building (happily, not in the Great Hall). It has been treated with radical chemotherapy and the walls of the Courtyard are currently being restored to their full glory in good time for the quarter-centenary celebrations next year of the granting of our Royal Charter. I am grateful to so many for making my year such a pleasure. The staff of the Hall is unfailingly friendly and welcoming – nothing is too much trouble. My colleagues on Court have been helpful and supportive and forgiving of my shortcomings. My Chaplain, the Reverend Prebendary Bill Scott CVO, has graced all the dinners with friendship and good humour. Celia, first two-thirds of my year and I owe him great thanks. Members of the Society responded magnificently to my appeal for a leaving gift. He was made free of the Society and given a splendid ‘send-off’, with a handsome cheque, the wherewithal for a Coat of Arms and, from the Court, a valedictory dinner at which he and his family were guests. I was pleased to welcome his successor, Nick Royle, in April and am delighted that he has settled in well and been welcomed by all with whom he has had contact. There is, inevitably, much for a new Clerk to learn about the quirks and quiddities of an ancient livery company but Nick is a keen student and fast learner.
