The evening is started with a comprehensive lecture from a senior dignitary about matters of Naval importance. Once this is complete the guests of the Hudson committee are invited to attend the ‘Hudson dinner’ at one of the colleges in Oxford University.
History of the Hudson fund: Oxford University accepted, with gratitude, the bequest by the late Mr Richard Guy Ormonde Hudson, DSC, of one-third of the residue of his estate to establish a fund to be known as the Guy Hudson Memorial Fund, the net income from which shall be used for the education of officers of the Royal Navy or Royal Marines at the University. The bequest currently funds the ‘Hudson Fellow’, a research fellow at St Anthony’s college and also a number of projects throughout the academic year. Recent events have included conferences, lectures and more diverse projects such as leadership development for URNU Midshipmen.
The Oxford Royal Naval Unit has the pleasure of arranging this event and has requested the honour of having ‘the baton’ on the table as focal point and to get one of the senior military personnel to read the message that the baton holds.
