The master of ceremonies' role differs from that of the toastmaster used at some prestigious events. The toastmaster has to wear the strict uniform of red coat and white bow tie, whereas the master of ceremonies has looser restrictions, unless requested otherwise by the event organisers.

Malcolm dresses up smartly in a suit, naturally, and he likes to wear colourful bow ties and waistcoats, giving him a unique and distinctive appearance when he is speaking.

Events and Occasions

Malcolm covers a variety of different events in his role as master of ceremonies, ranging from charity and royal events to weddings, Naval style events, dinners and motivational days.

Nelson and Hardy Dinner, September 2003

In September 2003 Time For Greenwich sponsored, managed and presented a unique dinner in Devonport House at Greenwich, the site of the mausoleum and final resting place of Thomas Masterman Hardy, Nelson's Flag Captain at Trafalgar.

Much is made of Nelson's achievements whereas Hardy is usually only remembered for the 'kiss me' moment as Nelson lay dying.

Guests at the dinner enjoyed a Traditional Dinner, Twighlight Tours of the Mausoleum and after dinner entertainment in the form of a light hearted and informative oration from Malcolm Godfrey.
