CCL Christmas corker
Consuls gathered at the Churchill Hotel for their Annual General meeting to elect a new President and Committee for 2018, after which they let their hair down and partied to the small hours. Prizes were on offer, courtesy of the Consular Corps of London committee and sponsors, Jaguar Land Rover, Rowland Brothers International, VFS and with cocktails and bottomless bubbly provided by diplomatic supplier Chacalli De Decker. Consuls could check out the latest Land Rover and Jaguar models parked outside – now wouldn’t that be a nice present from Santa?
