Annual Dinner

Highcliff Marriott Hotel, Bournemouth

Friday 21 April

Emma Hamilton Cole, the BDLS President hosted our Annual Dinner at the Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel on Friday 21 April. The evening was a great success with over 175 guests from the law attending.

The evening commenced with welcome drinks, followed by a delicious three course dinner and a glass of fizz to toast The King.

Edward Boydell of Pump Court Chambers was our guest speaker and kept everybody entertained with his speech regaling stories of local Judges and legal gossip.

We were joined by our distinguished guests and Presidents of the Bournemouth Junior Lawyers Division, Dorset Law Society, Hampshire Incorporate Law Society the Isle of Wight Law Society, Berks, Bucks & Oxon Law Society and the Southern Area Association of Law Societies’ President and Honorary Secretary.

We were supported by College Chambers, Paragon Professional Indemnity Law Select, Index Property Information and PKF Francis Clark Accountants. We were delighted that representatives were able to join us as distinguished guests. We remain very grateful for their sponsorship.

Next year’s dinner will take place on Friday 19 April 2024.
