120th Birthday Celebration
 The first annual 'Friends of SMI' event coincided with our 120th birthday celebration on Saturday 3rd October.  The event took the form of a Victorian evening soiree with a talk about North Oxford by Tanis Hinchcliffe, musical entertainment by the Gullifer family and friends, fine wines in Victorian style, selected and introduced by Graham Harding and a contemporary style buffet dinner, prepared by Friends and their spouses.
Many thanks to all who helped to make a wonderful evening of it..
