This year's dinner was held a little earlier than usual because of the early Easter.  It was attended by 143 people.  The raffle raised £535 for the NSPCC from prizes kindly donated by Cal Gavin.

Alan Deakin of BP was inaugurated as our President for 2005/6.  Derek Jackson of the University of Manchester received the Mike Ackril Award and Eddie Watters was made a Fellow of the Society.
