Dear Guildmen,

Since the 1970s our Declaration Book has been the keeper of our history, the witness to our journeys, and the heart of our Guild. We can thumb back through time and see our own Declarations made.

It is our book. It has seen names etched into its pages—Guildmen joining for the first time, Apprentice Masters stepping up, and Court members taking their place in leadership. It holds decades of stories, milestones, and memories that belong to all of us.

We have come to the end of our current book. And now, it’s time for a new volume.

We are creating a new Declaration Book, ready for April’s Court. We are working with an incredible binder to craft something truly special—leather-bound, featuring the Guild’s maiden emblem, and reflecting our historic colours.

This book is an opportunity for you to leave your mark. We are inviting sponsors—of any amount—to help bring this vision to life. And here’s the exciting part: as a sponsor, your name will be immortalised on the inside cover of the book, recorded for generations to come.

This is your chance to be part of something historic, to have your name forever linked with this incredible Guild.

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave your mark on Guild history.

Sign up now via the “ticket options” to pledge your support and let’s make this new book unforgettable—together.

With Gratitude and Pride,

Trish, 

 

Patricia Murfin-Snook Master,

Guild of Mercers' Scholars

The Guild of Mercers Scholars invites you to join us for our first event in 2025, a tour of the splendid and historic Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Over a 2 1/2 hour tour we will discover the history of this unique establishment where officer training has continued unbroken since 1812. Led by an expert guide, a retired officer whose own training will have taken place within the Academy's walls, we will be treated to a fascinating look into its storied past. The training grounds of many statesmen and rulers, including His Majesty the King and Winston Churchill, will be vividly explored as we view the 'prestige' rooms of the College.

Tickets are available for £25 per person, and include tea, coffee and biscuits before the start of the tour at 11am. Be sure to book your place early to avoid disappointment.

The Master Patricia Murfin-Snook invites you to join her for a tour of the stunning former home of the Rothchilds, Waddesdon Manor.

Built in the late 19th century in glorious French Renaissance style, the Manor could easily have been transported from the Loire valley into the Buckinghamshire countryside. No expense was spared in its construction and on Saturday 3 May we have the opportunity to visit this splendid English chateau and its formal gardens for ourselves. Starting at 11am, an expert guide will show us round the Baron de Rothschild's collection of English and Dutch paintings and French decorative arts, one of the finest in the world, followed by a tour of the gardens featuring the ornate, Rococo-style Aviary.

After our tour, we will enjoy lunch at the nearby Stables cafe, payable at the visitor's own cost.There will be an opportunity to continue exploring the gardens and house at your own leisure following lunch.

Tickets for this day out in the country are only £22.95 per person.
