On April 11 the Master hosted a dinner at The Farmers Club to celebrate the success of the Nuffield Farming Scholars, jointly sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Farmers and Savills. This follows on from the evening kindly sponsored by Andrew Wraith and his colleagues at Savills the previous year.
The evening was very well attended, with six Nuffield Scholars joining colleagues from the Farmers Company and Savills. During the evening, the two current Scholars, Jim Bliss and Jamie Stokes, inspired the guests by providing an update on their projects, plus recent and forthcoming travel.
Rupert Alers-Hankey, who has recently been appointed as Director of the Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust, took the opportunity to set out his plans for the Trust over the coming years.
Andrew Wraith from Savills said: “It was an excellent evening of stimulating conversation and served to confirm both the high calibre of Nuffield Scholars as well as the value of the Nuffield programme.
“The dinner, which we plan to continue, is a great opportunity to maintain engagement with all the sponsored scholars.”
