Election Court Dinner at Drapers' Hall

Edwardian opulence 1 at Drapers' Hall

The WCCA annual dinner - following the Election Court earlier in the afternoon - was held on 17th June 2015 at the Drapers' Hall on Throgmorton Street, close to the Bank of England.  This dinner was joined by both the Royal Institute of British Architects - RIBA, and The Commonwealth Association of Architects - the CAA. The latter organisation was celebrating their 50th year anniversary.

At the Court meeting, eight new members joined the Company; three as Liverymen and five as Freemen.  They are all very welcome.

Ian,

Last week I was made a Freeman of the City. It was a lovely day and I took my parents along (see attached photos) and Murray Craig actually knew my mother so that was very nice.

I wanted to thank you for all your support and in making me feel very welcome at the Worshipful Company of Chartered Architects events.

Best regards,

Polly
