London Toastmaster at Guildhall Christmas Lunches 2017

During the festive season, I acted as Toastmaster in the City of London’s beautiful and historic Guildhall for the first of three Corporation staff’s Christmas lunches. The other two follow in sequential days. This way 1,800 staff attend covering all departments such as today’s – Barbican, Police, Schools, Surveyors, Built Environment. I have acted at these lunches for more than ten years. Great fun with a measure of formality.

DAY TWO : More Christmas Hats

Day two of The Christmas lunches at Guildhall and some of the best Christmas hats which include Santa’s sleigh, Battle of Britain Spitfires and a swan. The departments represented on this day were Chamberlains, Open Spaces, Central Criminal Court, City Solicitors, Children’s and Community Services.

The London Toastmaster at the Chatham House Prize 2015

I was privileged to be Toastmaster at the 2015 Chatham House Prize ceremony, presented by HRH The Princess Royal to Dr Joanne Liu, President of Médecins Sans Frontières.

[Show slideshow]

The photographs show:

I remember our conversation was friendly but the picture suggests otherwise..
Acting as Master of Ceremonies
Dr Joanne Liu made a beautiful acceptance speech which honoured those of her colleagues who were killed and injured at the hospital in Kunduz and those who lost their lives during the Ebola crisis.
This is why we Toastmasters wear red, I am reminded by my colleague Geoff Harris.
