ANNUAL LIVERY BANQUETat

Stationers' Hall, Ave Maria Lane, London EC4M 7DD

Wednesday 9th

April 2014

7.00pm for 7.30pm, Carriages at 10.45pm

Principal guest speaker: Sir David WootonSir David Wootton was the 684th Lord Mayor of London, from 2011 to 2012,

and is the Alderman of the Ward of Langbourn.

600 years ago most craftsmen in London were itinerant. However the manuscript

writers and illuminators decided to concentrate their efforts and set up stalls or

stations around St Pauls Cathedral. Because of this they were given the nickname

Stationers and this was the obvious choice of name for the guild they established in

1403.

In 1606 the Stationers purchased for 3,500 Abergavenny House on the site of the

present Hall. During the early days of September 1666 the Great Fire destroyed the

major part of the whole City and Abergavenny House was burned to the ground.

Following the Great Fire a new Hall was commissioned and by autumn 1673 the new

Hall was used for dinner on Lord Mayors day, but a further 12 months passed

before Stephen Colledge, the Protestant Joiner, contracted to panel the Hall for

300 This is the Hall which exists today, with its original panelling.

The first true Stationer Lord Mayor was Sir Stephen Janssen (Lord Mayor 1785); and

Stationers have held the office a record twenty-eight times since

It is hoped that all members of the Company will support the Master at this

important event if at all possible. It is an excellent opportunity to entertain

guests in this most interesting Hall.

Dress is white tie and tails with decorations but it would not be discourteous

to wear a dinner jacket with black tie and white shirt.
