Last night was the 62nd Annual York Guild of Building Dinner, this year hosted at Kings Manor. We would like to thank everyone who was involved in the preparation of the event and everyone who came to the dinner. 

It was a great night meeting new and old members of the guild as well as their guests; in such close quarters we all got to know each other quite well! It was truly a night filled with good food, good drink and good company.

Highlights of the night included our Master Sally Walker's speech and presentation of awards to York college students, and our speaker Christian Vassie's wonderful film and talk on the future of our city.

Among election woes and shock, last night also marked the start of a series of talks held by the York Guild of Building at York College. It was an excellent event, with Rachel Trend from Native architects giving a presentation on the benefits of using hemp as an alternative building material. 

We'd like to thank everyone who attended the talk and of course thank Rachel for preparing and presenting the talk itself. 

Below are images from the night, Rachel and our Master Sally Walker and everyone discussing the topic of Hemp.
