Billy Downer, a Rhodes Scholar (SA - at - Large & Brasenose, 1980) was the Keynote speaker, whose address was entitled "Rhodes - Forty years on". Billy's father Geoffrey was at Bishops (Geoffrey Downer, 1939F).
Other ODs present but not in the photograph are Thomas Brennan (1999K).
Chris Trisos was the other speaker, his address entitled: 'Behind the Scenes of Dangerous Climate Change'.
