CHAIRMAN'S WELCOME

It is a privilege and an honour to serve as Chairman of the Langbourn Ward Club during 2015 – 2016 — a particularly special year, as we mark our 125th anniversary.

Our Club thrives in the strength of its Members, the richness of its traditions and the vibrancy of the City of London, and this milestone year gives us a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all three.

I am delighted that we will be inviting three Lord Mayors to join us for this 125th anniversary celebration — a fitting tribute to the Club’s long and proud history.

I look forward to working with you all to build on our heritage, enjoy memorable occasions together, and create a year we can all be proud of.


A YEAR OF CELEBRATION

The 2015–2016 Chairman’s year coincided with one of the most significant milestones in the Club’s history: its 125th anniversary. Founded on 16th April 1890, the Club marked the occasion with a celebration on 21st April 2015 and the publication of a specially produced hardback edition of “The Langbourn Ward Club History”, sponsored by members and published on 16th April 2015.

The year brought members together for thirteen events, from the Gondoliers and a Danish String Quartet to a Regent’s Canal trip, a Tower Bridge walk, a tour of the Painted Hall and a visit to a gin distillery, bookended by the AGM and Banquet in March 2015 and March 2016.
