The Company has a close relationship with Wadham College, Oxford, and the Warden, Lord Macdonald QC, is an Honorary Freeman. The Water Conservation Trust has offered a bursary against MSc fees to needy students for over 10 years and, each year, the Master and Trustees have been invited to Oxford to meet the directing staff and new bursary holder. On 4 April, Trustees Roger North, Colin Drummond, David Johnstone, Peter Hall and I were introduced to our new student Gemma Bennett. Gemma is a graduate from Sheffield Hallam University and most recently taught English language in Jordan. She is looking at water management opportunities in the Middle East. Previous bursary students have made an impact on a variety of water sector issues.
