‘As the spring flowers have been coming out in College, we’ve been looking forward to the Greville Smith Circle lunch today. It’s a special day: the Greville Smith Circle exists to show our appreciation for those who have chosen to leave a gift to Balliol in their will, and we are delighted to have the opportunity to celebrate it in College once again. We thank all of you who support Balliol in whatever way you can; you help students when they need it most and preserve the tutorial system for generations to come.’
Amy Lamb, Senior Development Officer
