WCTA Freemen gain Freedom of the City

The Master joined Freeman Ele Theochari and Freeman James Kean at the Guildhall, on Tuesday 12^th March 2024, to witness them obtaining their Freedom of the City of London.

Freedom of the City is a precursor of advancement to the Livery, and it remains much sought after.  While some privileges associated with City Freedom have been overtaken by events, and the passage of time, participating in the annual sheep drive over London Bridge remains reassuringly extant!  

Both Freemen enjoyed the occasion – and James subsequently advanced to become a Liveryman of the Company at a Court Meeting that afternoon; both took wine with the Master at the Budget Banquet at Glaziers’ Hall in the evening.

The Master thanks Michael Ashdown (Chair of the Membership Committee) and Carolyn Finch (Administration and Events Officer) for arranging and supporting this Group Admission Ceremony, at the Guildhall. The next such Ceremony is planned for Monday 23rd September, prior to the Installation Court and Dinner on that day.
