Last week we had an interesting private tour of Goddards House learning a little about the history of the property and family as well as the ongoing maintenance required to the building. It was especially interesting hearing about how the implementation of constructionline as a pre-qualification requirement has caused challenges for some of the smaller and niche companies required to carry out specialist work in the properties.

Earlier this evening the guild had a fantastic talk and tour around the Foss Barrier floor defences which are currently undergoing a large improvement project to increase their pumping capacity and defence capabilities. See below a few photos and concept sketches (please note we were unable to take any photos during the tour for national security reasons).

​Thanks to everyone who attended the Master’s Summer social, in aid of St Leonards Hospice. We raised £85.00 on the night and a further £100 through an online donation, so a huge success. Michael has now raised a total of £1225 so far.
 
It was a great evening with some delicious food and members and their partners had a chance to mingle with some new and prospective members.
​
A special thanks go out to Dr Fontebasso who donate a fabulous homemade Tiramasu, which vanished rather quickly.
 
We though it would be nice to share the memory with some informal pictures from the evening.

Last Friday was the guilds Gin tasting Social, with a presentation from Pete McNichol of York Gin and plenty of samples those in attendance had a very enjoyable evening .
