ANNUAL GALA DINNER

The Chamber is delighted to announce that for the third consecutive year, our Annual
Gala Dinner will be hosted at the iconic Mansion House, the Official Residence of the

Mayor of the City of London.

While in previous years we’ve had the privilege of being hosted by former Lord Mayors,

this year we’re especially honoured to be hosted by the sitting Lord Mayor, The Rt Hon
The Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman Professor Michael Mainelli, with whom
the Chamber has had a growing relationship over a number of years.

The Lord Mayor’s has long had an interest in South Africa, and we are very excited to
be hosted by him, and through him to build our relationship with the City to keep South
Africa connected and help it to prosper.

Mansion House, which sits right in the heart of the City, opposite the Bank of England,
is a delightful place to visit, replete with gilt-topped stone columns, marble statues and

exquisite art works. The Egyptian Hall, where we’ll be seated for the dinner, is a light and
airy space, situated under an amazing, vaulted ceiling with mezzanine levels at each end
which are backed by stained glass windows.

The Chamber’s premiere event of the year, the Gala Dinner provides a wonderful opportunity
to network with peers, business associates and friends, meet members of the Chamber,
Executive, Board and Advisory Board, while enjoying the finest foods and wines.
