A welcome return to live Company events has been celebrated, as the Master’s Out of Town visit to Durham and the North East draws to a conclusion.  64 members and partners joined the Master and Mistress for a busy and enjoyable three days 16-19 September.

Highlights included: visits to Durham cathedral and the old City, the Mining Institute and Discovery Museum in Newcastle, visits to Hexham, Hadrian’s Wall and Wallington Hall.  Formal Dinners were held at the Beamish Hall Hotel and Ushaw College.  A full write up will appear in the next edition of The Swordsman.
