WHY JOIN?
MEMBERSHIP AND APPLICATION FORM
Overwhelmingly our members enjoy the company of other members at our events, which are mainly exclusive to them, and they enjoy the friendships that result and the fact that they know more people at the Livery events as a result - which of course all adds to the enjoyment.
Our members come from all walks of life and are friendly, interesting and interested people, experienced in life and in the City and Livery. The events are thoroughly enjoyed and often give fresh insights and new experiences of places and activities in the City. Sometimes the events give privileged access to certain places. City Consorts is a Society for the Consorts in their own right, with a well-defined membership.
Always there are new members to get to know as new Consorts come ‘on stream’; and always there is a core of people who remain members. Making connections with others opens up doors, sometimes provides opportunities to get involved in something you haven’t been involved in before and of course meeting new people expands your network of friends and acquaintances.
For those who are Consorts or are future Consorts the Society does help to build confidence. Chatting with other members, learning from them, getting guidance and advice and having questions answered and concerns addressed are all part of what the membership brings. You will have a network of people you can contact if you want advice or guidance on anything to do with the Livery, the City or being a Consort. Knowing more Consorts also increases the likelihood that you will be invited to one of their events and of course you could organise your own event to meet them, building on the experience of others in the organising if you need to. Quite simply you will be connected to the Livery in your own right (and not because of your Master’s position) and will have your own network of people you know as a result.
If your year has passed and you are a Past Consort, the Society gives you an opportunity to stay connected with the Livery and with the Consort friends you have made, once your year is over. You are also likely to find you make new friends, and also enjoy new experiences. You have a chance to pass on to others, your knowledge and experience, and could even become a member of one of the teams of support. The social events are also likely to give you new experiences and insights as we visit various venues.
Part of our web site is for members only. It gives you access to our ‘Just in Time’ Bulletin which brings together dates from various sources, into a calendar of events in the City and Livery that have particular relevance to Consorts in a two-month period. In the ‘Members Only’ section you will also have access to a wide range of hints and tips from members to members, some useful information sources which can make life in London more interesting and enjoyable, especially if you have time on your hands; and some accounts from members who have ‘been there’.
We have had some incredible feedback from our members about the value of the Society to them, and we are delighted because clearly City Consorts is filling a gap for our members, increasing their enjoyment of their Consort’s year in office, and of being in the Livery in general.
