Structure

The Company is governed by the Master who is elected for one year and is supported by the Prime and Renter Wardens and assisted by the Honorary Clerk. The Master chairs the Court which meets at least quarterly and includes, as voting members, the 5 most recently retired Masters and a number of Assistants who in some cases proceed to the Mastership.

All significant issues concerning the Company have to be considered by the Court which deputes a separate Finance and General Purposes Committee to handle the day-to-day running of its affairs. A series of other Committees manage the running of events to raise funds for Charity, for communications and for welfare.

The Company also has an Honorary Chaplain, an Honorary Physician and an Almoner all of whom help members in need of assistance.

Quite separate from the Court the Trustees of the Charity Fund safeguard its money and make decisions concerning its use.
