The Inducting Officer was Benoît Fragnière, Member of the Conseil d’Administration, who had travelled from his home in Switzerland as the representative of President Atallah.

Benoît was supported in his “Maître de Cérémonie” role by Chancelier Karim Henein who is also a Member of the Conseil d’Administration, Mrs Amal El Tobgy, Member of the Conseil Magistral Honoraire and Bailli Délégué Honoraire, and Bailli Délégué Yves Pharès.

It was rewarding for the Bailliage officers that two members had decided to come from far away to participate in the event. Namely, from France: Jean-François Guichard, Chargé de Missions with responsibility for international matters, and from Thailand: Johannes Schulte, Grand Officer.

It was also an honour to have the presence of Chevalier d’Honneur His Excellency Jan Thesleff, Ambassador of Sweden. Formerly he was a member in Saudi Arabia but since his transfer to Cairo he is now part of the Bailliage of Egypt.

It was an outstanding evening, especially so given the consensus that the Gala Dinner was truly S-P-E-C-T-A-C-U-L-A-R!!
