Dear BGA Members
At the request of Lord Watson who is President of the BGA and Chairman of the Franco-British Society, members of the British-German Association have been invited to join our friends at the Franco-British Society for Afternoon Tea at the House of Lords, with guest speaker Sir Christopher Mallaby.
Sir Christopher Mallaby, GCMG, GCVO, was in the British Diplomatic Service from 1959 to 1996. His international postings included the Soviet Union and the USA and he was later British Ambassador to Germany and France. Sir Christopher then spent 10 years working in investment banking at UBS. He has also been a Trustee of Tate, Chairman of the Somerset House Trust and he is a member of the UBS Art Collection Board. Sir Christopher has been awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit, Grand Officier of the Légion d’Honneur, and Commandeur de l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques.
Drawing on his ambassadorial experiences, Sir Christopher’s talk is entitled ‘Never a Dull Moment in Germany and France’. The traditional afternoon tea, including sandwiches, scones, cakes and pastries, will be served in the Cholmondeley Room and Terrace.
