High Table Dining

After graduation, Alumni of the College may dine at High Table to join current members of the Fellowship. They are entitled to up to four dinners per calendar year including wine. They may dine twice with one guest, once with a guest and twice on their own or four times on their own.

Past Fellows and Past Overseas Fellows are eligible for four meals per month and six guests per quarter at College expense.

Past By-Fellows (Fellow Commoners) are eligible for four High Table meals including guests over any twelve month period (with one guest per High Table visit). That is to say, a Past By Fellow could dine without a guest four times a year, or dine twice with one guest on each occasion, or dine once with a guest and twice on their own.

For all categories of Past Fellow, wine is not included with your meal. You will be charged following the event for wine taking during the meal.

Dinner is at 7.30 p.m. Members should come along to the Senior Combination Room (SCR) before that time. Gowns may be worn at High Table, but this is not required. Members should introduce themselves and their guest(s) to the Fellow presiding.If Members wish to have a drink in the SCR before or after the meal, they should sign the list provided. All Members will be charged for any drinks taken in the SCR.

To dine at High Table, advance notice must be given 5 days in advance of the High Table in question. There is no High Table on any Saturday, or on Sundays outside Full Term. The College is closed during the second fortnight of August and during Christmas and New Year. It is advisable to book or make enquiries as far ahead as possible, as there are other occasions when High Table dining will not be available.

Bookings can be made by emailing the Alumni Relations Team, at least 5 days in advance of the dinner. At least one Fellow must be present to preside, otherwise High Table will not take place.
