Throughout the pandemic, we have been Calling Masters of the Bench virtually, provided they were willing to be Called online. Some, however chose to wait, and as a result recent Call ceremonies have been a mixture of the Treasurer’s Lists (Masters Gormley, Callow and Coleridge); recently elected Benchers like Colin Davidson; and those who preferred to be Called in person – who, coincidentally, were mostly men. Please click through to see the full picture.

The Callees are Called to the Bench before dinner, then asked to take their place at the High Table. After dinner each new Bencher gave a short speech, which members can watch here
