Buffet
If you wish to stay for the hot buffet dinner you will be able to dine in the beautiful historic surroundings of our Great Hall and New Library. Dinner for each new Member is free of charge; there will however be a charge for guests. Children are very welcome; a special menu will be available and those under 10 are free.
Photographs
We will have an official photographer at each Ceremony. A photograph showing each new Member shaking hands with the President will be taken and this is provided free of charge to Collegiate Members. This is available to buy for non-Collegiate Members. The photographer will be available to take individual/family photographs. Diplomates may be photographed wearing the Collegiate Membership gown (black with green trim) if they are or have applied to become a Collegiate Member of the College.
