Enjoying the last of summer at Lord's

While many of our Livery Company activities have a philanthropic objective, some are unashamedly for pleasure.

So it was that our new Master Nick Salter's first 'home team' social event saw 18 actuaries and guests  gather on one of those splendid summer evenings at Lord's cricket ground.

Cricket is one of the Master's passions and we watched in style from a box with food and drink laid on, enjoying some partisan banter as the Master's team (Middlesex) came close but failed to reach the target set by Sussex. The outcome did not affect the group's enjoyment of the entertainment both on and off the field, and we will retain this warming memory as the days shorten.
