Pilgrims Society

The Pilgrims Society, founded in 1902, is a British-American society established, in the words of American past-president Joseph Choate, 'to promote good-will, good-fellowship, and everlasting peace between the United States and Great Britain'. Over the years it has boasted an elite membership of politicians, diplomats, businessmen, and writers. It is notable for holding dinners to welcome into office each successive U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom and each new British Ambassador to the United States. The patron of the society is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Office holders, as of 2006, were:
* President - Lord Inge
* Chairman - Sir Robert Worcester KBE DL
* Honorary Secretary - Mrs Tessa Wells
* Honorary Treasurer - Ian E Barlow FCA
