Mechanical Dinners

Those of us who attended last year's Dinner could not fail to be moved by the enthusiasm which greeted the announcement that the 25th Anniversary would be celebrated in 1974 at the Carlton. Not only was it clear that the 25th Dinner would have the support of all of us, but that the celebration should continue in some form or another even though the location, which has been the traditional home of the Mechanical Dinner for nearly fifteen years, might be changed.

Thus we welcome all of you to the 25th Jubilee Mechanical Dinner in the confident hope that we are witnesses of the end of one era and the beginning of another.

It is very much to the credit of Jack Haddock that this 25th Jubilee Mechanical Dinner
is being held, not to mention the following years . What could therefore be more
appropriate than that Jack take the Chair for this important date.
Jack Haddock’s credentials to fill this office are impeccable. Few of us can claim a
longer and more active involvement with the Mechanical Division, in fact in his
embodiment the Mechanical Division is alive and living at Heathhall
To be asked to take the Chair for more than one year is a rare honour ,but one which
Jack richly deserves. We can confidently expect That he as Chairman, will conduct
tonight’s proceedings with his customary skill and aplomb
