Meetings and the Choosing Dinner
The Court meets at the Trades Hall of Glasgow. Alongside its regular business, the year includes the Choosing Dinner, the annual occasion at which the Incorporation gathers to celebrate its fellowship, welcome guests and continue traditions passed between generations of Cordiners.
Keeping each Court as a dated news item means former office-bearers remain part of the Incorporation’s story as future Courts take their place.
