Annual Dinner 2002

The OHA Annual Dinner was held at the new Haberdashers' Hall for the first time in July. This was one of the first events held at the Hall which had only opened for business a couple of months before. Nearly 100 Old Boys and guests attended the Dinner and there was general agreement that the Hall is an excellent venue and that the evening went very well.

Included below are some photos of the Hall and some pictures, taken by Simon Gelber, of the Dinner itself.
