Tuesday 17th May 2022. Our May outing is a trip to London by train and a tour of The Charterhouse in the City of London. Today the Charterhouse is home to a community of Brothers. However, its story is much more than the story of the almshouses as we will hear on the guided tour of this fascinating historical gem hidden in the heart of London.
It is with great sadness that we have to report that Malcolm Sanger died last Monday evening. Malcolm had been ill with non-smokers lung cancer and was undergoing treatment for that. Almost three weeks ago he was taken into Pembury with various blood clots and pneumonia. He was discharged last Friday but took a turn for the worse over the weekend and was being taken into hospital again on Monday evening but died in the ambulance.
Mike Sander writes: I thought I would give you early notice of the arrangements for our Golf Croquet mornings starting in early May.
Two lawns are reserved for our use on the following Tuesdays starting on 10th May 2022 (from 10.00 am to 12.30 pm). The charge this year will be £6 per person.
A date for your diary – Thursday 21st April 2022 . Some of you will recall the excellent tours we had pre-covid of Fishmongers and Skinners Livery halls in the City of London. We are fortunate to have now been able to arrange a visit to the Merchant Taylor’s Hall in Threadneedle Street (more famously known as the Bank of England’s address (photo above). We will enjoy coffee and a 1 1/2 hour tour of the hall and afterwards lunch in a famous old City pub.
