The Livery Hall, Cutlers’ Hall, Warwick Lane, London EC4M 7BR

The College of General Dentistry 2026 Fellows’ Winter Reception took place on the evening of Thursday 5 February in the historic Cutlers’ Hall in London.

The event was an opportunity to network with peers over drinks and canapés, as well as to meet College Trustees and members of the College Council and Faculty Boards.

After a welcome by the Chair of the College and an address by the President, the College Medal awarded in June 2025 to Kevin Lewis FCGDent was presented to his son, Nick Lewis FCGDent (a Foundation Member of the College and former Course Director of the FGDP[UK] Diploma in Restorative Dentistry).

This was followed by the admission of new Fellows and Associate Fellows.

Formal business attire was recommended

Ticketing

This event is open to all members of the College’s Fellowship community, i.e. Associate Fellows and Fellows of the College, as well as members of the College’s Board of Trustees, Council and Faculty Boards.

Information on eligibility for Fellowship (FCGDent) and Associate Fellowship (AssocFCGDent) is available here

If booked early, tickets are free of charge to presenting Fellows (i.e. new Fellows, and any College Fellow who has neither been ceremonially admitted as a Fellow at a previous College Fellows’ Reception nor had their fellowship of the former FGDP(UK) [if applicable] conferred at a Diplomates’ Day).

If booked early, tickets are also free of charge to presenting Associate Fellows (i.e. any Associate Fellow who did not attend the most recent Fellows’ Summer Reception on 13 June 2025 – regardless of whether they have attended any previous Fellows’ Receptions).

Once all complimentary tickets have been taken, tickets for presenting Fellows and presenting Associate Fellows will cost £20.

For all other attendees, tickets are £55 if booked early.

All those eligible to attend may bring up to one guest should they wish. Newly admitting Fellows may wish to bring a partner or family member, other members may wish to bring a colleague (in any dental team role, including trainees).

All guest tickets are charged at £55 if booked early, regardless of the rate paid for the eligible member’s own ticket, and guest tickets must be booked at the same time as the eligible member’s ticket.

Once all early bird tickets have been sold, tickets for all attendees other than presenting Fellows and Associate Fellows will cost £65.
