THE ANNUAL DINNER The Hall was straining at the seams when, thanks to the hospitality of the Master and Fellows of the College, no less than 182 members attended the Society's Annual Dinner there on Friday 5 October 1979. Sir Tom Hopkinson, recently elected as an Honorary Fellow of the College, presided and, in proposing the toast of "The College", treated the members to a delightfully distinguished speech. The Master, despite his initial disapproval of the innovation of a public address system, responded heartily with an entertaining account of the past year in the life of the college. In this he was ably supported by Mr. C. R. Piprell of the Middle and Mr. S. W. Quin, of the Junior Common Room. The Secretary expressed his own and the Society's debt of gratitude to the Governing Body for according yet again the privilege of inviting it to the college and especially also to the Manciple, the Chef and their staffs for coping so admirably with the unprecedented numbers.
