Great St Helen's Sculpture Space

MissB delivered her application to the Chamberlain's Office last week to become a Freeman of the City, it was very brief and quite simple. It and the other ninety odd applications will be passed at the Court of Common Council on 6th December 1pm. Once approved I will be invited to swear an oath to the Queen and the Corporation, and receive my official sealed document.

Also whilst waiting at the Guildhall Offices picked up lots of Lord Mayor's Show brochures - get your own copy at the City of London Information Centre in St Paul's Churchyard, be prepard for the great day.  Also check out the free walks in the afternoon of the 10th November.

Whilst you are at CLIC  pick up the Great St Helen's Sculpture Space guide around St Mary Axe (the Gherkin). I have not walked around there since last spring when we started the guided course and it was a building site. There are eight works in all an electic mix and the guide provides plenty of information.
