Tony Reeve, who added these words when he originally uploaded these pages....
"Yet another great Annual Dinner, and thanks to everyone involved in organising it. Also my personal thanks to everyone who so kindly welcomed me, and expressed so many kind wishes as to my health - if I don't see you before, I hope we'll meet again at the same event next year! To Keith Mullender, who acted as my personal chauffeur, I would like to add my own thanks, and also to David Turner for his kind words.
To business - first of all the menu, and I should add that I thought the food this year was exceptionally good:
Starter: Roast monkfish tail, Noilly Pratt & fennel reduction, carrot &
parsnip crisps
Entree: Fillet of new season English lamb, gateau of minted Jersey Royal potatoes,
grilled aubergine & glazed baby artichokes
Dessert: Compot of banad set in coconut jelly
Delicious chocolate truffles accompanied the coffee,
Wines were:
Macon Blanc Villages 2006 Chateau de Peronne,
Chateau Bel Air 2005 Bordeaux Superieur"
The Guests of Honour this year were - Old Stationer Professor Alec Boksenberg, CBE, FRS, FInstP (who is also chairman of the UK National Commission for UNESCO, & also of the Natural Sciences Committee, as well as being Hon Professor of Experimental Astronomy for the University of Cambridge); John W Waterlow, Master of the Stationers' Company; Denzil Sharp, Clerk to the Stationers' Company; and last, but no means least, Simon Baynes, son of our former Headmaster, the late Robert Baynes.
