On Monday the 7th of June 2010 the members of the board wore the new outfit officially for the first time.
In 1988 the board-members of the C4-Guild got their first dress-uniform to indicate who they were and where they came from. Those first uniforms were sponsored by Sparekassen Nordjylland – a local bank which is now called SPAR NORD. Since then our dress-uniform has been a dark blue blazer with a golden C4-crest on the breast-pocket, tie with the C4-logo and grey trousers.
Our new dress-uniform consists of a plum coloured blazer with a golden C4-crest on the breast-pocket, black tie with a golden C4-logo and black trousers.
On Monday the 7th of June 2010 the members of the board wore this new outfit officially for the first time. With the Guild-troubadours in front of the procession they marched from Jens Bang´s Stonehouse to the Guilds ceremonial tree at the old town hall, where speeches were given by chief-bencher Niels Voss Hansen, followed by 1. vice-mayor Helle Frederiksen and the managing director of SPAR NORD, Henrik Schou. The latter two representing the sponsors: The City Council of Aalborg, SPAR NORD and “Kejserens Klæder” (The Emperors Clothes, the local tailorshop, which has delivered the new dress-uniforms).
The Guild-troubadour Per Iversen played a tune on the lure (the old Viking wind-instrument) and everybody toasted in the beverage most preferred by the Guild – beer.
The ceremony – at which 7 members of the Guild’s Norwegian branch in Oslo were present – was followed by an initiation in Duus’ Wine Cellar.
