Our largest members’ event of the year is the Annual Dinner, a black tie affair in the grand candlelit Senior Combination Room. Along with fellows and students, we invite an honorary guest to dine and speak at the dinner; speakers in the past include Prof Andrew Wiles, Prof Imre Leader and Prof Béla Bollobás.

Annual Dinner 2016
Once again, our yearly black tie dinner in the Senior Combination room was a great success. We would like to thank our guest speaker, Prof. John Toland, for his time and entertaining speech. Also, well done on our outgoing co-presidents Maria and Ömer for their speech (and more…), which concluded their excellent presidency!
