71. The Company Past Masters, May 19, 2022
The Company’s Past Masters meet at least once a year and
their function, as set out in Standing Orders, is ‘To be a source of advice and
wisdom for the benefit of the Court and Master’. The Master and Master Elect
are invited to present an account of their stewardship during the year. The
meeting took place by Zoom because of health concerns and that tended to result
in formal ‘advice’ rather than the usual mix of formal and informal, which can
be so helpful.
Past Masters generally share the Court’s concerns about the Company, in particular, the need for a positive outward face and (related to some extent) the need to sustain and grow the membership. They noted the ambitious plans the Court has adopted for 2022-23 and offered their help in delivering them.
My thanks go to the PM’s Chairman, Roger North, for the opportunity to speak.
