Guests were summoned to dinner by the beadle, and the Master, Wardens and Past masters were welcomed to the dining hall in the traditional way.
 
After welcoming guests, the Master introduced to the Livery, three new Liverymen: Silke Akermann, who is known to many as the Curator of Scientific Instruments at the British Museum; John Caunt who runs JCS which is a company focussed on the fields of nuclear radiation detection and measurement; Jane Fishwick who has a long career in instrumentation for the healthcare industry.
