Many of you will be aware of the excellent work of our charity, The Water Conservation Trust. Part of this work includes the provision of Bursaries to post graduate students who are studying subjects related to the key objectives of our Company.The Company has a longstanding relationship with Wadham College, Oxford – this was originally initiated by Past Master Colin Drummond who completed his undergraduate degree at the College back in the 1970’s. This academic year (2016/17), the Trust has provided a Bursary to Fraser O’Halloran who is part of the 22 strong MSc/MPhil in Water Science, Policy & Management programme.
Earlier this week David Johnstone, a Liveryman of our Company and a Trustee of the Water Conservation Trust, arranged a visit for several of us to meet some of the academic staff at Wadham over lunch and to spend time with our Bursary Holder, Fraser O’Halloran.
Many thanks to David for organizing this excellent visit.
