Dinner information: We will be going to University College for formal hall and thus need to firmly confirm the attendees in advance. The cost will be 13.58 per person, and you will have to pay in advance to secure a spot. That’s not including wine - bring your own. We will contact those signed up directly on how to pay. Spaces are limited and will be allocated first come first serve. Dress code is ideally smart and with gowns, but not at all enforced.
