While not a Master's event, the Master is keen to support the 12th annual Lord Mayor’s Big Curry Lunch which will be held at London’s Guildhall. The Lunch supports members of her Majesty’s Armed Forces and Veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan through the three National Service Charities; ABF The Soldiers’ Charity, the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity and the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund. The Lunch is hosted by the Lord Mayor of the City of London, the Lady Mayoress, the Sheriffs and their consorts and aims to have raised over £2 million (net) since 2008 by April 2019.

Tickets include unlimited curry, beer, and wine. The afternoon will begin at midday and we will eat at first sitting, which is 12.30. Drinks will be available throughout the afternoon until the conclusion at 3.00pm.

There will be a Royal Guest of Honour, serving officers, soldiers, veterans and beneficiaries of the charity.
The Guild has ten tickets which gives us access to the reception area of the Livery Hall at Guildhall with a complimentary glass of champagne. There will be a silent auction and prize draw. Tickets are subject to availability. If not successful in securing one of the ten tickets you will be offered standard tickets (if still available), which does not include champagne.
