Of course all are welcome.  The proposed dates for the meetings will be the 3rd Saturday in October & 1st Saturday in May.

I now offer this to current members of the District of London who may be interested in being involved in this exciting opportunity and seek your support in terms of Founders, Joiners and Candidates.

Spring Luncheon

The District Grand Prefect would like to warmly invite you and your partner / friends to the AMD London Spring Luncheon, which is being held at the Bleeding Heart Restaurant in the City.


The afternoon promises to be one of fine food, fine wine and fine conversation combined with a frisson of horror as criminologist Attilio Grandani regales us with tales about Jack the Ripper. Attilio has over 20 years’ experience as a Ripperologist, and is renowned for applying a range of psychological techniques by which the audience’s imagination is transported into the past. Descriptive, educational, and slightly off the wall is how his talks can be characterised!


Places are limited, so please use the attached form to book your tickets by 1st April. Non-members are also most welcome.

Date:    Wednesday 6th April, 2016
Time:    12:00 – 16:00
Venue:    Bleeding Heart (Terrace Room), Bleeding Heart Yard, off Greville Street, Hatton Garden, London EC1N 8SJ

A Christmas Message - 2015

A Christmas message from the District Grand Prefect for London

The season of good cheer is upon us; it is the time to send cards to people we have not seen for the last year, to receive gifts which do not fit or we do not need, the time to eat and drink far too much, to squeeze into packed trains and be generally trampled underfoot in crowded shops. And it is cold. Yes, it is Christmas!!  I like Christmas, and as you can see from my opening words it has its funny side but it also brings out the best in everyone and everything. Family, community, friendships, helping others and performing simple acts of kindness have an added pleasure at this time of year. They truly bless those who give as well as those who receive.

As I look back over the year I reflect on the progress which the District has made, the tremendous increase in our numbers - to all of you new members, you are all most welcome into our marvellous Order and I hope and trust you are enjoying your membership of your Councils. I recall the lunch which was held at the Guildhall and then our Annual Meeting which attracted record numbers and was followed by an excellent meal. For the District it has been a most successful twelve months, I made numerous Official and Non-Official visits, met with most of you and generally found everyone in good heart.
