A drinks reception in the Lord Mayor of Westminster, Duncan Sandys’, private office and meeting rooms at the top of Westminster City Hall, with stunning view over London’s cityscape, was the back drop for the Inter Club’s first charitable event since its conception six years ago.

Partnering up with the Lord Mayor’s charity, the St Andrew’s Club, a youth club based in Victoria which does sterling work with young people from south Westminster, the eighty or so Inter Club members in attendance managed to raise over a thousand pounds to benefit the charity.

guests were welcomed to The event by the Lord Mayor, with a witty speech offering an insightful glimpse into what his role comprises at the start of the evening and a guided tour of the plate room, which hosts Westminster Council’s many treasures, at the end. Such was the succeess of the event, the Committee will be looking at this experience to see whether there are further opportunities in the future to support appropriate charities.

A great thanks must go to the Lord Mayor himself for hosting us and the Army and Navy Club, in particular Gavin Peake-Jones who brought about the concept of a charity event to fruition and the Club’s events secretariat who handled all the admin for the night.
