No Red Coat this evening as this event was for Ukraine, but I did have my auction specs on, as well as some rather fetching blue and yellow spotty socks.
My thanks to both @ukrainecharityorg and @help4ukraine_charity, who invited me once again to come and support them as host and auctioneer for the evening. It really is my pleasure to support these medical aid charities supplying equipment and medicines.
To everyone who supported this event, thank you, and whilst it means a lot to me, mine is nothing compared to those who are on the receiving end of supplies.
Slava Ukraini

Those mentioned were not only musicians playing. We were so lucky to hear from @alloiseofficial play with Anastasiia Human on guitar. Really chill and cool. Plus we got to hear from the O Band. Two young sisters and there even brother who sung Ukrainian Carols.
It was great to see and hear from @katycarrmusic again as she gave so much to the afternoon, with not only her singing but also with her encouragement to all taking part.
@smirnov_sax was a delight to work with again having seen him play so brilliantly on Friday night also and when he and @dmytro.morykit decided to play together everyone was treated to something really special.
To the @artaidukraine team it was terrific working with you all again and I commend the effort put in by all to set this event up in the first place. Keep doing what you do. You are making a difference.

Never say we don't have fun at my weddings!
Thanks to all, especially Danny and Claire, and Claire's Mum @shezza_catgran, who insisted that I was part of the day.
@hedsor team and caterers were brilliant, and as ever this venue shone as a wonderful place to hold an event.
We had a blast.

Mixed feelings today.
Delighted the event ran so well, but obviously sad for the liss of a colleague.

Always a delight working here, not just because of the impressive venue, but because the two lead members of the catering team are just among the best couple of professionals I have the privilege of working with in the City. They know their hall so well and always deliver the best service available.
I hope you enjoy the video.
BTW, Edward VII and George VI are no longer down the corridor! 🙃

That bow tie was really trying to spin!!
Congratulations to the Master Furniture Maker on a wonderful evening, from the format of the occasion to the lighting of the room, this was a triumph.
Adding to the evening was the wonderful harpist @agajew, as well as truly delicious food and great service from @lifes_kitchen_
..... and ME!

Just what would the Timber industry be like without wonderful talented and devoted women like @karen_suss and Sheila Hutchings?
Trust me, they would not be the great institutions and associations that they are without them.
Another wonderful evening for members of @timberdevelopment.uk as their annual dinner took place at @8northumberland last night.
My thanks to all the members for working with me. My thanks also to Maddie and the team at the venue for their sterling work. We reckoned we would lose about 15 minutes off the schedule, but in fact, we only lost 7. Amazing job.
To @chrissutton10, to David Hopkins and to Martin, it was a pleasure working with you all as always, and I look forward to seeing you in the new year.
Events like this don't just magically happen. They are meticulously planned by the likes of Sheila, Karen, and Martin. Once the planning is over, all they can do is hope they have got it right. Alternatively, they can ask for my help, and according to Karen, and I quote, "I won't do an event like this without you!"
Thanks for the compliment and confidence.
If you want help making your event a great success, please don't hesitate to get in touch and let me know how I can help.

A great evening of fun and frolics at the @superdrug 60th anniversary celebration and fundraiser held at the iconic @oldbillingsgate.
High energy and great company in the form of @voguewilliams @themissdemeanour and @tomreadwilson. Lots of money raised for @mariecurieuk and so thank you to all who helped me raise funds for this incredible charity.

What better way to kick off November than with a massive party and fundraiser for Marie Curie.
It is going to be a fun night.
A long day. Today, we had a cCourt, followed by a Ceremonial Installation Court, followed by a wonderful dinner.
Although the time did run away with us in the end, at least once we began the speeches, only a few minutes off the schedule. Anything beyond that is out of my control.
This was a really good event which had a lovely vibe to it and was a terrific success for the Master and the Company.
My thanks must go to all the team at Mercers Hall and the @lbemusic_steve for their musical accompaniment to the evening.
So congratulations to the @fuellerscompany and I look forward to continuing to work you in the new year.
