My lovely and I attended the annual dinner of the Society of Construction Arbitrators to which I was invited as a guest, no doubt, by the president, John Tackaberry QC, who is the vice president the Arbitration Club. The dinner was held in the Armourers Hall, in the City – what an amazing setting. A lovely evening, I saw a lot of old friends who I have not had the pleasure of seeing for some considerable time.
The evening was only very slightly marred by the fact that we were not expected. My letter of acceptance, posted on 25 September, had never arrived, no doubt a victim of the recent postal strike. However the organisers were very gracious and rustled up a couple of extra chairs, and some victuals, so all is well that ends well.
