And Finally... Carolyn Coles

And Finally...

I hope you have enjoyed reading through the final bulletin of 2021.

During the last year, Covid continued to impact the ability of us staging face to face training, however we soldiered on with the zoom events. Having presentations from Ian Quayle, Chartlands Chambers, Doughty Street Chambers and Trish McLellan from Lawncare. Thank you to those who joined us and supported NLS. The Awards Event was moved online, but thanks to Shoosmiths amazing media department, and the professional services of John Griff we were able to come together to celebrate the talents of the Legal profession with Northamptonshire- we hope to meet face to face for our 2022 awards event.

During the summer we were able to meet for the Great Legal Walk, which saw us taking in the sites of St Andrew’s, Delapre Golf course, finishing the route with refreshments at Hewitsons. This event enabled much needed funds to be raised for “The Midlands Legal Support Trust”. This charity was also the recipient of funds raised through the Great Legal quiz, which saw an exhilarating fight for the winning title, between Shoosmiths and Sarah Franklin Solicitors. It all came down to the final round named “The Risk” where participants had to decide if they were going to gamble points awarded for that round in a double or quits scenario – Let’s just say Sarah Franklin and her team retained the winning title!

Moving into 2022, I am hopeful that circumstances will allow for me to arrange networking events for all members to join, as we have 2 years of catching up to do. So, as I sign of for this year, I would like to thank all the members, and Patrons who have continued to Support NLS.

Wishing you and yours Seasonal Greetings.
