JLD Update: Election Night and Cheque Presentation

12 December, 2012

The Annual elections held on 15 November, generously sponsored by our friends at Chadwick Nott were a little different this year – there were no actual elections necessary!

However, the fact that all the roles had been perfectly filled prior to the elections night did not mean it was a dull night. Rachel Sweet from the Alzheimer’s Society came to accept the cheque for £4929.06 which the Bristol JLD have raised in the last year. The Big Chill bar made sure we all had plenty of drinks and nibbles to enjoy and we saw the new committee year in with a bang!

Details of the new committee are members are available here .

As always, we’d love to hear from you if you have any ideas on events or other comments to make – please email info@bristoljld.co.uk

consider the JLD events excellent value for money.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a member of Bristol JLD committee. I was able to make valuable connections with some really engaging colleagues. Covid-19 lockdowns achieved overnight changes in the workplace. The chief beneficiaries are often people well established in their careers, rather than those at the start finding their feet. I am particularly proud the efforts we made to vocalise the concerns of junior lawyers during the early stages of the pandemic.

Your commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of children is truly inspiring. We've cherished every moment of the events we've shared, from the delightful BBQ gatherings to the glamorous ball nights. Your dedication and enthusiasm have not only made these occasions memorable but have also contributed to a remarkable achievement. The total amount of £7,000 is truly incredible, and it will undoubtedly make a significant difference in our mission. With this support, we can provide enriching camp experiences to a multitude of children, creating lasting memories and fostering personal growth.

It has been an absolute pleasure to partner with Bristol Junior Lawyers Division over the last 15 years. From sponsoring the Annual Charity Ball (which is always a sell-out) to running careers events for junior lawyers, it has been a privilege to support so many of your members over the years and we look forward to continuing this fantastic partnership for many more years to come.
