John Humphrys interviewed Mr Crowther on BBC Radio 4, the recording of which is available here (45 minutes in).

Guests enjoyed the Chef's exquisite cuisine in the Hall whilst tackling personalised cryptic puzzles. A display of memorabilia was available, including the menu and seating plan from the inaugural celebratory meal held in 1958, which one of the guests had actually attended. During coffee, a specially composed poem and limerick were recited, before guests adjourned to Azed's nearby home for afternoon tea.

The meal and Wolfson College, were also mentioned in the text beneath Saturday's edition of the Cryptic Crossword in the Independent.
