Our 87th Annual Dinner will take place at the Haycock Hotel, Wansford on Friday 7 April 2017. Tickets will go on sale in the New Year.

Thank you to Ann Charlton of Law Care Ltd who presented a number of members on 11 October 2016 at Hunt & Coombs.

Ann gave us an overview of LawCare's role within the profession, how to recognise signs of stress, balance and manage stress and work and about the art of mindfulness.
