Pilgrims Society

Anglo-American finance dining twice yearly since 1902. No agenda ever published. Toasts to "the union."

The Pilgrims Society (founded 1902): Anglo-American elite dinners in London and New York, toasting 'the enduring friendship' — patron: the monarch; membership rosters (published in society histories) span finance, diplomacy, and media across a century. No agenda is published; its defenders call it purely ceremonial. It appears in the web as the longest-running documented instance of the transatlantic establishment meeting on purpose, linking the Round Table era to the present.
