Brammer Geographical Society's Annual Dinner
Saturday 22 February 2025; The West Lodge & Maitland Room
The President of the Brammer Geographical Society invites you to its Annual Dinner on Saturday 22 February. The Brammer Geography Society is named after Hugh Brammer, a Downing alumnus best known for his work on agro-ecology in Bangladesh who very sadly passed away in 2021, aged 95.
Alumni and guests are welcome to attend an optional short talk and Q&A session, from 18:00-18:45 in the Tim Cadbury Music Room, before drinks and dinner. This will be given by Liam Saddington from the Geography Department on "The Role of Small Island Developing States in Constructing a Climate-Ocean Governance Nexus: Threats, Opportunities and Responsibilities". Please note, there is no disabled access to the Music Room.
Following the talk there will be a drinks reception, at 19:00, followed by dinner at 19.30. Drinks and dinner will take place in the West Lodge & Maitland Room. The Master will attend.
The dress code for the evening will be Black Tie, and guests are welcome. The wearing of gowns is encouraged (arrangements can be made to borrow a gown for the evening, if you don't have one).
The price of the dinner will be £49.95 per head including wine and you may bring a guest. If you would like to purchase an alcohol-free place, these are priced at £39.95 per head.
