Cutting-edge fine dining

The first livery dinner of 2015 for the Worshipful Company of Actuaries took place on 27 January at the very impressive Stationers' Hall in London. Liveryman Simon O'Regan proposed the health of the guests, to which David Ward, senior vice-president of the Royal College of Surgeons, responded. As well as David, who is a plastic surgeon, three other principal guests were also senior orthopaedic surgeons. I am pleased to report we did not require any of their services during the meal, but rumour has it that David took several bookings!
