New Year greetings from a very quiet City. Essential maintenance and security of the Hall continues, with all meetings in the foreseeable future being online. Myself, Assistant Clerk as well as the Beadle and his team will periodically be in the Hall to keep an eye on things and our receptionist Clarke continues to man the front desk Monday to Friday. A programme of online events begins soon starting with ‘Cooking with the Beadle – A Master Chef!’ on 12 January – I’m certainly intrigued by his suggestion of strawberry soup!
