RSMSJ Announces New Executive Council

Dear RSMSJ members,

We are very proud and appreciative of your support with our 2025/26 events especially three lectures: Before May Fair Became Mayfair by Dr Francis Boorman, Urban Development of St James’s by Peter Heath, and Our Neighbour William Blake by Catherine Kelly. We are particularly grateful to all who joined us at  the Winter Reception at The Chancery Rosewood the Winter Wonderland tour for Mayfair and St James’s residents, and our walks with Paul Dimoldenberg, Westminster's former Lord Mayor.

Our sincere thanks to The Chancery Rosewood for hosting our Winter Party and for so warmly welcoming Mayfair and St James's residents into a valued new neighbourhood space. We are also grateful to The London Jesuit Centre and The Mayfair Library for generously hosting our events, The Farm Shop for their supply of refreshments and to all of our speakers for their time, insight, and enthusiasm in shaping such engaging programmes.

While it can feel that residents’ voices have not yet been sufficiently recognised, ongoing engagement remains vital. You are very welcome to share your views with us at info@rsmsj.com.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the EGM and AGM on the 15th June 2026. It was wonderful to see such a strong turnout and so many familiar and new faces in attendance. There was a genuine sense of engagement and optimism for the future of the Society and the year ahead, alongside a clear commitment to the wellbeing and long-term success of our community.

We were pleased that members approved the proposed constitutional updates, which will enable the Society to move forward with a governance structure better suited to current requirements and future needs.

A new Executive Council was elected, and we are delighted to welcome a wealth of experience, expertise, and fresh perspectives in service of the community. We look forward to working together and building on the Society’s long-standing role within Mayfair and St James’s. Executive positions will be agreed and communicated following our first Executive Council meeting.

Thank you again for your support, participation, and the thoughtful feedback shared throughout the evening. We look forward to being in touch soon with details of forthcoming events and opportunities to come together as a community, including our annual Garden Party in September.

Wishing everyone a wonderful start to the summer!

With best wishes,

Your RSMSJ
