Honorary Members - Past and Present

 

 

Honorary Membership was introduced in the 1950s in order to mark in some permanent way those persons who had given valued service to our Club over many years and perhaps had held offices of some significance. The list below is presented in order of the year in which they were awarded Honorary status.

The award was extended in 2003 to include any person with an unbroken period of 50 years membership (this is signified within the list as '50 Years').

Those names in blue are our current Members whilst the names of our deceased Members are in black. Where an Obituary has been prepared a link to it is provided by clicking on the word 'Obit'.

It has been a tradition in our Club for many years that those who have served as our President and any member who becomes Lord Mayor of City of London are invited to accept an Honorary Membership.
