New members welcomed at our October Guild Court

Earlier this month, we were delighted to welcome seven new members at our Guild Court ceremony held in the Royal Perth Golfing Society premises.

Pictured above back (from left) are Leo Bonthrone, Jayden Johnson, Ex Lord Dean of Guild and Merchant Councillor Bill Montgomery, Lord Dean of Guild Euan Begg, Ex Lord Dean of Guild and Merchant Councillor Dunc Menzies, Charlie Fraser and Claire Kerrigan and front (from left), Finn Bonthrone, Izaak Johnson and Archie Johnson.

Charlie Fraser is the first member of his family to join our Guildry and the other six can all trace their Guildry lineage back to Guildryman William Whittet in the early 1800s.

The Johnson boys travelled from Perth in Western Australia to attend the ceremony.  Their great-grandfather, John Wells, joined in 1951 and is one of the longest serving members of the Guildry.  Their great-aunt, Elaine Bannerman, is currently serving on the committee.
