  • Election of the next Lord Mayor

    Posted on 5th September 2017 Election of the next Lord Mayor

    Election of the Lord Mayor and Lunch at Painters’ Hall– Friday 29th September 2017

    Eligibility for election as Lord Mayor requires candidates to be an alderman, and to have served the office of the sheriff. Typically there will be just three or four such qualified candidates, and all liverymen (who have been liverymen since May the previous year) are eligible to vote for two of them, at Common Hall in Guildhall on Michalemas Day (29th September).  The Court of Aldermen then decide which of the two will be the next Lord Mayor, to take office the following November.   The Court's position on the Mayoralty for 2017/18 is already clear . At the election of the Lord Mayor this year, if Alderman Charles Bowman is one of the two Aldermen whose name is returned by the Livery to the Court, then he will be elected.

    As a liveryman you can take part in the elction if you have were admitted to the Livery before September 2016.  For booking form and lunch reservation click here

    Marcus Rink, Chief Inspector of Drinking Water and the Guest Lecurer at our Annual Lecture this year, in his latest Drinking Water Report comments on the importance of good plumbing (and by inference good plumbers).  In the section on the failures of tests on tap water in consumers' properties he reports that while not all failures detected in tap samples are due to consumers’ plumbing, just over 24% of failures in 2016 were attributed to consumers’ domestic systems.
