The Cambridge Society of Dorset reached its 40th anniversary this year! We cordially invite you to join us in celebration at our main event of the year in the historic surroundings of Bryanston School, just outside Blandford Forum.

We will have a short (15 minutes) AGM followed by an address by Dr Gordon Plant on Abnormal Vision and the Visual Arts: Fact and Fancy. After an aperitif we will enjoy a 3-course lunch (with wine) prepared to the very high standards of Bryanston’s kitchens and served in the splendour of one of the staterooms of Bryanston House.

We are privileged to be addressed by such an expert as Dr Plant. Currently Hon Assoc Professor at UCL, he was Consultant Neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, St Thomas’ and the Moorfields Eye Hospital until 2021. He graduated from Downing College, followed a distinguished career in the neurology of vision at the three institutions and is a fellow of the Royal Colleges of both Physicians and Ophthalmologists. He continues to be a great champion of furthering research and training in his field. He has developed a particular interest in the effects of visualisation disorders on the great painters, which is the main topic of his address. For relaxation he enjoys a wide range of music.

Lunch at Bryanston is always a splendid affair, immaculately presented in historic surroundings. This year the main course will be Beef Wellington, with a vegetarian alternative and a choice of starters and sweets. The full menu is attached to the booking form.
