The Master and Officers greeted members and guests as they arrived at the unique and prestigious Clothworkers Hall, one of the larger, well-established Livery Halls in the City, where we were made very welcome.

Each year at this dinner we present Awards for Outstanding Achievement to individuals nominated by each of our three military affiliations. The citations were given by the Commanding Officer of each of the units and illustrated impressively the capabilities and commitment of those who serve in our Armed Forces. Individual Lightmonger members generously sponsor each Award, and together with the Master, make the presentations.
