How the 'other halves' live

Open-access content Tuesday 31st March 2015

For those of you with an actuary as a partner, wife or husband, you will know that part of their actuarial life involves attending various seminars coupled with dinners and events.

'The Other Half Club' offers you the same opportunity for socialising with like-minded people and making new friends, all of whom understand what it's like being the other half of an actuary. We welcome new members to our club, which contains a variety of personalities.

In the past year, we have held three dinners on the same evenings as actuarial dinners and seminars, a guided tour of Smithfield Market, a visit to the theatre to see War Horse, a visit to the London ice sculpting festival, a guided tour with dinner at the Old Bailey, lunch at The Clink restaurant at Brixton Prison and a visit to the Bank of England.

We are planning a guided tour of the Chelsea Physic Garden and Royal Hospital Chelsea, a boat trip to the Thames Barrier, a visit to the Guildhall School of Music & Drama theatre and a guided tour of Chislehurst Caves, as well as our normal dinners at the Café du Marché on evenings coinciding with actuarial events.

If you are interested in joining us or for further information on the club, please do get in touch. Email:  [email protected] or phone Jacky Pendleton (chair) on 07768 200539 or Lesley Birse (secretary) on 01689 836392
