High Sheriff's Ladies' Lunch

Mrs Peaches Golding OBE, H M Lord-Lieutenant for Bristol, addressed the High Sheriff's Ladies' Lunch held at the Royal Yacht Club, London on 3 October.  The Ladies' Lunch was attended by current High Sheriffs and those in nomination.  Peaches outlined the duties of the Lord-Lieutenant and highlighted activities where High Sheriffs might also expect to be involved.  As the High Sheriff for Bristol 2010-2011, Peaches had many tips and advice that she could pass on from experience.  For example, the High Sheriff is a one year appointment of Her Majesty concerned with law and order while the Lord-Lieutenant is commissioned to carry out that role until their 75th birthday.  The Lord-Lieutenant's role encompasses a far greater range of duties, activities and responsibilities in support of Her Majesty.
