Privileges of Members of the College who are Masters or Doctors of the University of Cambridge

An Old Member who is a Master (M.A., M.Phil., L.L.M., M.Litt., M.Ed., M.St., M.Sc., M.B.A., etc.) or Doctor of the University, and has no other dining privilege on High Table, may dine at High Table in Hall and take wine on any one Wednesday, Friday or Sunday (or any Monday when there is no Governing Body meeting) in each quarter of any year, free of charge, after notice. There is no High Table dining in the College Hall on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays but a buffet dinner will be available at Leckhampton on Thursday evenings.  Old Members availing themselves of the privilege of dining at High Table wear an M.A. gown, or the gown of the higher Cambridge degree to which they are entitled. If by any chance they have not the appropriate gown to hand, they should ask the Head Porter, who can usually arrange for a loan. 'Ordinary' in this context means nights other than feast nights or other special occasions. These privileges are subject to the approval of the President.

Old Members may also exercise their dining rights at Leckhampton when dinner is served there: those who wish to do so should apply, well in advance, to the President. If short notice is given, it is essential to provide a telephone number to avoid disappointment, as the number of guest rooms is strictly limited.

Rooms in College

An Old Member of the College may also occupy a bedroom in College, if available, for a reduced rate of £37.50 per night.
