All change for the other half

Open-access content 30th November 2015

All change for the other half

The Other Half Club is a dining and events club. It was started decades ago as a way for the partners of actuaries to enjoy themselves while their 'other halves' were involved in actuarial events, seminars and functions.

Nowadays, we are in the position of not just enjoying ourselves with interesting visits and dinners but we sometimes even invite our husbands and wives to join us.

The club is run by its members, but there are 'officials' in the guise of a chairperson and administrator. Every two years these posts are passed on to another member.

This year, I am moving aside after having been in the chairperson's role for the past two years, and Lesley Dumbreck will take over. So, goodbye from me and welcome to Lesley, who will now be working with our current administrator, Lesley Birse.

Lesley will in turn hand over to a new administrator in a year's time. She is already forming plans for the next two years, and these include a number of ideas for events going forward. A visit to Highgate Cemetery and then onto Kenwood House in April is already on the books, as is a return trip to the Chelsea Physic Garden in late summer.

Other activities could be a visit to the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace, and a lunch to include Two Temple Place.

If you are interested in joining us, please get in touch with Lesley Birse either via email at [email protected]
or by phone on 07812 803762
