26 APRIL 2023
On 25 April 2023, as a precursor to the Foundation Festival, the Master and Wardens Committee met to preside over two ceremonies; a ceremony to present the cohort of bursary recipients from 2022 with their bursary certificate and another to give those bursary recipients who had successfully completed their course the Freedom of the Company .
