LLST summer events

More than 10,000 people strode through the Capital’s streets at last week’s London Legal Walk. If you missed that, however, do not despair as the London Legal Support Trust (LLST) has more events planned. On 6 June, it’s the ABC Chambers Solutions golf event at Bishop Stortford Golf Club. On 8 June, choirs of City law firms and chambers will sing in Westminster Hall with Lesley Garrett, supported by the National Symphony Orchestra. On 20 June, the LLST’s annual golf competition takes place at Verulam Golf Club in St Alban—try for the Magna Carta Cup or the King John Shield. On 10 July, it’s the British 10K Run. The LLST still has 20 places left for anyone who can raise at least £50. On 23 July, it’s mud and more mud at “Survival of the Fittest”.
