Archery is coming home in the 2012 Olympics. It is all under the supervision of our guest speaker at the 2011 Poitiers Supper, Ms Hilda Gibson.
The Agincourt Dinner 2011, held at the atmospheric Armourers’ Hall, was described by one Liveryman of long standing as “about the best Bowyers event” he had attended. All guests had a most enjoyable time.
The attendance was a healthy total of forty members and guests. This included a number who particularly wanted to hear Professor David Carpenter talk on a period of history for which he is renowned in the academic world.
Weeks of planning, several committee meetings at various locations, briefings both in person and electronic, and a plethora of emails came to fruition on 9th June, when one hundred and sixty guests were entertained.
Welcome to the website of the Worshipful Company of Bowyers, a Livery Company with centuries of tradition and a martial history which intimately connects us with, among many other clashes of arms, the Hundred Years War and the famous battles of Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt.
In current times, the Company supports many charitable and educational causes; enjoys a varied programme of events ranging from the annual archery match against the Fletchers' Company in the moat of the Tower of London to traditional dinners; and supports the Lord Mayor and the Corporation of the City of London by fulfilling the ancient rights and privileges enjoyed by Livery Companies in governing the City. I hope that you find the site of interest
