Chambers People: October 2006

Faces from the past!

This photo was taken 8th December 1991, at a rugby game between the Clerks v The Bar. The observant will recognise several current Senior Clerks among the team, including, Martin Smith, Simon Slattery, Declan Redmond, Steve Francis, together with Jay Fullilove, Gary Oliver, and Dylan Wendleken. I am reliably informed by Mark Watson, that this was taken at the Springfield Sports Ground in Stamford Hill, North London - the home of Harringay Rugby Club.

IBC Ball 2006 - Friday 6th October

The first, and hopefully, not the last, IBC Ball was held on Friday 6th October at The Brewery in London, and was well attended by barristers' clerks from all over the country.
There was good food, wine, and conversation throughout the evening.
Jason Housden of Tooks Court Chambers narrated the "horse race" during the evening. Declan Redmond announced the raffle prizes. The money raised by the raffle was for the Great Ormond Street Hospital (amount unknown at the time of writing this). Michael Goodridge (9 Gough Square) seemed to clean up on the main prizes, while David Goddard several secured prizes, including a stylish kettle! As you can see from some of the following pictures, a good time was had by all!
Emma Makepeace and the rest of the organising committee did an excellent job, and are to be congratulated.
