Before the dinner, in the Chemistry Lecture Theatre, Yoshiyuki Kikuchi gave a talk entitled "Joji Sakurai and the Development of Anglo-Japanese Relations in Chemistry, 1863-1939".

Yoshiyuki used to be at the Open University where he did some work on our department's Japanese connection; he now is at the Graduate University for Advanced Studies, Kanagawa, Japan.

The formal dinner itself included a toast to the Department by Professor Robert Parker. 

Professor Ivan Parkin (Head of Department) also presented two Ramsay Medal Winners, they were Atif Elahi and Vincent Grey - congratulations to the both of them.
