Our 120th anniversary

SWWJ members and non-members came together on October 14th to mark the 120^th Anniversary of the Society with a special service at St Bride’s Church, Fleet Street – known as the “spiritual home of the media” – and with a luncheon at Stationers’ Hall, a venue associated with the written word for over five centuries. The celebratory service included music from the renowned St Bride’s choir, as well as readings and addresses from SWWJ Honorary Life President, Baroness Williams of Crosby, freelance journalist Libby Purves, and SWWJ Patron Simon Brett. The Society President, Victoria Wood, joined us at the luncheon and the event concluded with a talk by Ann Widdecombe.
