Dear {~Known_As~}
Congratulations on your completion of the Associate Chartered Banker Diploma in the last
academic year. The Council of the Institute has great pleasure in inviting you to attend one of our
2015 Graduation Ceremonies to collect your qualification and membership certificates.
Graduation is one of the most historic and prestigious occasions in our annual events calendar,
providing occasion to formally recognise the achievements of our new Chartered Bankers,
Associate Chartered Bankers, Diploma & Certificate Awardees, Prizewinners, Fellows and
Honorary Fellows.
Our main 2015 ceremony will take place on the morning of Saturday 14th November at the St
Paul's and St George's Church Edinburgh.
This year, we are again holding an awards ceremony for those in the London area that cannot make
it to Edinburgh for the main Graduation. This will be an evening event on Wednesday 2nd
December, held at RBS, 280 Bishopsgate, London.
Guests

We will try to accomodate up to 2 guest tickets per Graduand in Edinburgh. Please request extra

later date. We will aim to confirm extra guest tickets in October.

We very much hope to be able to welcome your guests in London but we cannot guarantee any
guest places upon your initial booking. Please do request guest tickets as desired and we will aim to
confirm whether we can accommodate everyone by the end of October.
