Commanderie de Bordeaux in Bristol. News in 2021 and plans for 2022

Maître, Sue Darwall-Smith

Here is a brief summary of news in 2021 and plans for 2022/2023 from the Commanderie de Bordeaux in Bristol

I am delighted to say that Sarah Kenny, widow of Commandeur Tony Kenney, has accepted our invitation to become a Commandeur. 

We are holding our “January Banquet 2022” in memory of Tony Kenny. Sarah & her family will be our guests. I will induct Sarah as a Commandeur on that occasion. She will wear Tony’s robes & receive his medallion.

Sarah Kenny will also be attending our first “Commanderie Dinner” this year. It will be held on 5th November 2021 at the Clifton Club in Bristol.

The Commanderie de Bordeaux in Bristol held two enjoyable events in August:

Régent Giles Clark & his wife Judy hosted a “Wine sharing Dinner” for 20 people in their garden.

Simon & I hosted a “Commanderie Drinks Party” in our garden. Approximately 70 people attended.
It was wonderful to see everyone at last!
Grand Maître Paul Chedgy and his wife Diana Chedgy have kindly agreed that the Bristol Commanderie may hold its annual “Carol Service and Christmas Party” at their home this year in December in memory of Fern Urqhart, a long-standing, loyal member of the Commanderie who sadly passed away in February 2021.
Fern was very knowledgeable about wine, as well as a talented musician and performer. It was a tradition that she would organise this joyful Christmas event at Paul & Di’s home.


Plans for 2022 :

The Commanderie's  “January Banquet 2022” will be held memory of Commandeur Tony Kenny.

The Bristol Commanderie is planning a visit to the Bordeaux wine region, Saint-Emilion and Pomerol, with a group of approximately 40 people, in September next year, around the time of the World Congress of the Commanderies, to be held from 14th to 16th September 2022.

After a very difficult year in every respect, the Conseil decided we would postpone our “Anniversary Gala Banquet” for a further year. We plan to hold it July 2023.

We truly hope all signs of the pandemic will have disappeared by then!
