Some of the same ‘old’ students and others came to the lunches in February and<br />
May <strong>2014</strong>, which proved equally popular. In May they were able to toast Dr Derek<br />
Wyatt (EF), who had recently celebrated his ninetieth birthday.<br />

Reading Group<br />
The Group, now in its tenth year, meets every couple of months in the evening.<br />
There is always lively discussion of the text to hand, and then which book to choose<br />
next. This year’s decisions were that historical masterpiece The Merchant of Prato<br />
by Iris Origo, in July 2013; then Effie Briest by Theodore Fontane; The Leopard<br />
by Giusseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa; two collections of short stories in Hateship,<br />
Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage by Alice Munro, and in Dubliners by James<br />
Joyce; and lastly South Riding by Winifred Holtby, whose story, intertwined with<br />
her own, is recorded in Testament of Friendship by Vera Brittain. Next term’s<br />
choice, appropriately for <strong>2014</strong>, is All Quiet on The Western Front by Erich Maria<br />
