Mistresses and Consorts Picture BookNo. 1, November 2014

Message to the Mistresses and Consortsof the Masters of the Livery Companies

As your new Lady Mayoress, I am delightedto be invited to write the introduction to thefirst printed edition of the Mistresses PictureBook, which was started online in June 2014.

It was introduced with the aim of helping toput faces to the names of the Mistresses andConsorts in the City of London’s 110 LiveryCompanies when you meet each other eventsduring the year and by doing so, to create awarm community, whose heart is in charitablegiving. I am looking forward to the year aheadand in particular, to helping support The LordMayor’s Appeal, which aims to fund much-needed services and raise awareness of important issues for disabled people and theirfamilies.As you may know, this year’s Appeal will help Scope and Mencap to develop twoflagship programmes.

While we are all aware of the splendid ceremonial occasions that take place in the City, itis the continuous commitment to helping build a better world for London’s citizens that hasalways been the hallmark of London’s livery companies. Dick Whittington, himself, a Mercer,embodied this commitment and even now, it provides a line which thrives in the liverycompanies, in their different charitable approaches and focuses. However, the reach ofthe livery companies goes beyond the confines of London to many regions where supportis given to trades, education and professions.

I very much look forward to meeting all the Mistresses and Consorts, and I wish you a veryenjoyable year.

With warm wishes

Welcome to the 1st edition of Mistresses Picture Book

The Mistresses Picture Book was initiated by The Lady Ribeiro of the Barbers Company, who had noticedthat her husband (Master 2013-14) made a point of always carrying a copy of the Masters’ Picture Bookwith him. She thought such a book would be equally useful to Mistresses, and we were joined by SuzanWoods, then Mistress Fueller to make it all happen.

We have seized this opportunity to make a printed edition, and to distribute it to the Mistress or Consort ofevery Livery Company.

If your picture appears in this booklet, thank you for your support. If you meet Mistresses of other companieswho are not yet in the booklet, please encourage them to join – and, when your year is nearing its end,please ask your successor to send in their picture and subscription well in advance of the changeover date– that way, there will be no awkward gap, and it will save us quite a lot of chasing.

If your picture does not appear in the booklet, we hope you will want to join. Because we do not (yet) havea sponsor for this project, we ask for a subscription of £10 from each Mistress. To join, just send your photoby Email to [email protected] and send your cheque made out to P. Nicholson, 9 Lynwood Avenue,Epsom, KT17 4LQ. Your picture will appear on the liverycompanies.com website within a few days, and itwill also be in the next edition of the Mistresses Picture Book which will be distributed at the Ironbridgeweekend in June.

The project is run by a steering committee which, in addition to those listed above, includes Sarah Miles,Mistress Actuary, and Mary Jane Donaldson, Mistress Basketmaker. If you would be interested in helpingus, please send me an email at [email protected]

With best wishes
