The Installation Dinner will be held on Wednesday 11 October 2023 at Stationers' Hall, which will immediately follow and celebrate the installation of Dr James Cripps as our new Master.

Our Prinicpal Guest is Frederick C. Lough M.D. Colonel (Ret) Medical Corps US Army, who is the first Director of the Department of Defense Medial Ethics Center (DMEC) at the Uniformed Services University in Bethesda, Maryland.  A graduate of West Point and a qualified Airborne and Ranger Specialist, he is a military combat and heart surgeon with over 40 years of experience, including two senior deployments to combat zones in Afghanistan. He received the Distinguished Graduate Award from West Point after his retirement in 2022 and his new role is to review the ethical challenges facing the United States Military, which includes liaison with NATO colleagues on potential changes to the Geneva Convention.

Stationers' Hall is a Grade I listed building, close to St Paul's Cathedral and one of the few ancient Livery Halls remaining in the City of London.  The Stationers have occupied the site on Ave Maria Lane since taking over Abergavenny House in 1606.  The original hall was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666 and the new hall was built shortly afterwards being first used in1673 for a dinner on Lord Mayor's day. Successive works over the 18th and 19th centruies have given the frontage a more dignified appearance.
