  • End of an era The last P4G meeting of the decade took the form of a Christmas dinner held at Jesus College. Guests of Honour were members of the Mechanical and Electronics workshops, and other colleagues from the Department's Professional Support Staff, who have helped generations of P4G members through their time in the Department of Chemical Engineering and in CEB. Poignant tributes from former members were read, and gifts funded by current and past members presented. We wish all our guest well in their next adventures.
