Somerville’s memorable University Challenge campaign, which saw the College representing Oxford in the final of the competition, was celebrated at a dinner in Hall held on 24 April.

Each of the five team members who had sat on the panels through the 2013-14 competition were allowed to invite five guests, while a number of other students and Fellows also attended.

The five team members who sat on the four-person panel over the course of the contest were Michael Davies (captain), Zachary Vermeer, Chris Beer, Hasneen Karbalai and Sam Walker. A line-up of team members who took part in the final can be viewed here.
