City Livery Club - Our Reciprocal Clubs What a great range of our Reciprocal Clubs you visited this year! As well as the winner of our prize draw, Judy Tayler-Smith, who visited the Western Club in Glasgow, we had an entry from Helen Field who went to the Royal Canadian Military Institute in Toronto, Canada. Also pictured below are Christopher Calcutt who went to the Kent and Canterbury Club and Phil and Kim Keeler who went to the Northampton and County Club. Thanks to them and everyone else who entered the competition. Reciprocal Clubs are a great membership benefit. If you are interested in joining our friendly City based Club, please check out our website. Junior Vice President The City Livery Club

City Livery Club - Prize Draw Winner Yesterday our President, Alan Cook, drew the winning entry to our summer competition which tasked members with taking a photo of themselves at one of our many reciprocal clubs outside London. Thanks to all those who entered, we will be posting some of the photos in due course. Everyone looks as though they are having a great time. But for now I am delighted to announce that the winner is….Judy Tayler-Smith…and a bottle of champagne will be on its way to her shortly. She is photographed below at The Western Club in Glasgow. Congratulations Judy! I do hope to see you soon at the Club or at an event. If you would like to know more about the Club, please visit our website. Best wishes Junior Vice President

City Livery Club Welcome back after the summer holidays and looking forward to seeing you back at Club premises soon. Thanks to all those who entered our PRIZE DRAW by visiting one of our many reciprocal clubs outside London. The Draw will be made at the end of the month and a bottle of Champagne will be on its way to the lucky winner. In the meantime here is a happy memory for those of you who came on the President’s excellent Romania wine tour. St George is very big in Romania and we saw an exhibition of naïf icons at a small village in Transylvania. This one featured the happiest horse. Do remember to look at the City Livery Club website for details of the events booking now for the Autumn. If you are not a member, it also gives details of how to join. Best wishes Junior Vice President
