On 14th February (Valentine’s Day) immediately before the Master’s Dinner (see blog no 104) on board HQS Wellington, Company history was made!A specially convened Court Meeting enabled me to install seven Consorts as Freemen of the Company. They were Sonya Harris, Georgina Drummond, Rosemary Hewitt, Jan Dennis, Lis Matthews, Georgina Hall and Fiona Tozzi.
The Consorts have made an enormous contribution to our Company having given tremendous support to their Master’s during their year of office and it was a great privilege to honour them in this way.Photographs show HQS Wellington (built in 1934 as a Grimsby class warship and now the Livery Hall of the Honorable Company of Master Mariners) and the seven new Freemen proudly holding their certificates and badges.
