The number of diners attending the dinner has steadily increased over the years, say organisers, and this year saw a record number of 364 guests attending, each connected to agriculture or the allied trades in Lincolnshire.

To celebrate the 50th dinner, all the diners received a special lapel badge featuring the LaDiDA bull, depicting well hung beef, a traditional feature of the dinner.
