Twice a year (April and September) the Masters and Senior Wardens of the Modern Companies (from number 87 to 110) meet for a dinner where conversation and matters of common interest are the principle agenda items.
This Spring it was the turn of the Information Technologists to organize the event which was held at the Brewers Hall in the City and our Senior Warden, Mike Williamson, and I attended to represent the Water Conservators. It was interesting to note that the two major areas of discussion around the dining table were the recruitment of new younger members and the disbursement of charitable donations. These issues are important to the future success of the Water Conservators, so it was helpful to hear how others are tackling these issues.Next year, it will be the turn of the Water Conservators to organize and host this event and Mike Williamson was keenly taking notes throughout the evening!
The toast to the Modern Companies was given by Sir Peter Girshon KBE (Chairman of National Grid and Tate & Lyle) who gave an insightful view of the impact of technology on our lives today and in the future.
Many thanks to the Master Information Technologist for organizing such a successful evening.
