As part of the fund raising effort the Lord Mayor, Michael Bear, is pursuing a bear theme throughout the year. Part of this is a Christmas tree in the Mansion House that will be decorated with furry little teddy bears. Each bear will have a sponsor and all 108 livery companies have been invited to participate.
We decided that the basic red jumper bearing the title Drapers' Bear did not do full justice to the Company and, anyway, red is not a Company colour. Penny Fussell therefore made a beautiful set of warden's clothing, including hat, for him to wear. The result is that we now have a 'fifth warden.'
Once the Christmas Tree is taken down the bears will spend the rest of the year in the Lord Mayor's office before being returned to their owners.

Splendid effort, Penny!
