The UK Branch held a very successful Annual Dinner on Friday, 3 October at the National Liberal Club, with its best-ever attendance. By all accounts, it was a superb evening and a wonderful expression of the strength and spirit of the OD community in the UK.

Niall Carroll (1980O), Chair of the College Council, was the guest speaker. He reflected on the school's core values and spoke clearly about the importance of ensuring that the governance foundations of the school are strong and fit for purpose. He also emphasised the enduring value set that underpins Bishops and the importance of remaining true to those principles as the school looks to the future.
