Time with the other half
The actuarial profession is a very demanding one, both business-wise and socially. The 'Other Half Club' provides a little social independence for the partners of actuaries to offset all those professional seminars, dinners and events.
The club has 73 members, and this year we've participated in a variety of different events. These included a number of dinners at the Café du Marché, lunch at Brixton prison's The Clink restaurant, the Bank of England, and a walk around Chelsea with a professional guide including Chelsea Physic Garden and Hospital.
There was also a visit to one of the monthly planned openings of the Thames Barrier, followed by a riverboat trip down the Thames via Greenwich to Westminster and an afternoon production of Guys and Dolls at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama's Silk Street Theatre.
Our next event is a tour of the Chislehurst Caves, now a museum laid out as it was in its Second World War function of a hospital. Our new year will begin with our annual dinner at the Café du Marché on Monday 16 November, planned on the same evening as the Gallio Club dinner so that there is an opportunity to be escorted home by our 'other halves'.
We welcome new members, so do get in touch if you are interested in joining us.
