We are pleased to hear from Dr. Ruedi Bodmer Hr. Zunftmeister, that the rebuilding of the Zimmerleuton Guild's Zunft House in Zurich is well on the way after the disastrous fire in 2008.
The topping out ceremony was held in November 2008 with a great deal of local publicity.
Whilst the building will not be ready for use at this year's Secheleuton parades in April, Ruedi firmly hopes that the grand re opening will take place in time for the 2010 Secheleuton. We wish them luck and a fair wind, as they say!
It is the our Company's hope that we shall be able to provide them with some suitable fixtures and fittings for the Hall to cement the strong bond we already have between our two Companies. We are looking into the possibility of providing a specially crafted lantern, which will be used in the evening parade which takes place around the streets of the inner City of Zurich after the burning of the Boog
More of this as discussions proceed.
