Newly Qualified Solicitors & New Barristers (Tenants) are invited to attend the annual dinner, a new concept taken from the success of the last few years.

This year it will be held on Wednesday 11th November at the newly refurbished Marina Suite at the Holiday Inn, Castle Marina, Nottingham. Guests will be welcomed with a complimentary glass of prosecco (non-alcohol alternative available) on arrival, and then asked to be seated for 7pm, where there will be a welcome from the Society' President, Drew Dennis.
