Some 50 Friends of the Harry Birrell Scholarship Trust (HBST), gathered on 6th November 2021 for a Gaudy dinner in Christ Church College in Oxford. Dinner was preceded by drinks and the award of three Birrell Blues by our Patron, Peter Phillips. A glorious (nearly) post Covid time was enjoyed by all, and an update on the HBST Scholars and plans for the trust was provided by the Chairman and Patron.
