A busy day on Feb 12

The Water Conservators team of Fiona Begely  ' Keith Tozzi , Rob Casey and your Master did not disgrace themselves in the Pancake Race at Guildhall but we were not winners . We were certainly cold .Thank fellow runners .

After a peaceful afternoon ,I went to the Constructors Awards Dinner at Stationers Hall  . Very pleasant surroundings and company . The awards were inspiring in seeing so many young people coming through and none more so than those given to service personnel in Afghanistan. The speeches were interesting . That to the guests was given by a Past Master , the wife of the current Master who worked with the principal guest Douglas Oakervee in Hong Kong . Douglas is Chair of HS2 and spoke in spirited defence of this major infrastructure project .

A long day finished by going to  bed at 1 am  

Today, I , Ralph our Clerk , Martin Baggs Liveryman and CEO Thames Water , and Chris Sneath Chair of WaterSafe ,Past Master of the Plumbers  and incoming chair of WET 10 ,made a successful team presentation to the Energy and Sustainability Sub Committee of the City of London. This focussed on WET 10 , WaterSafe and services of Thames Water in London . We hope to repeat this in future years and strengthen our links to the Corporation . A copy of the presentation will be on our website.
