A Champagne reception was given before the Dinner, and took place in the Thirkill Room, where a photograph of the Committee and Guests was taken. All then proceeded to the Small Hall, where a photograph of all present was taken before the meal.

Clare Kitchens once again laid on a terrific spread, and the meal was thoroughly enjoyed by all. After dinner, and the Loyal Toast, Garter King of Arms gave an amusing speech, truly fitting of the 40^th Annual Dinner, and this speech was replied to by the President.

The Patron, Archbishop Bruno Heim once again gave the Society a generous donation, and imparted his Apostolic Blessing upon the President and the Society before leaving.

Guests remained, drinking port, until about midnight.
