Any solicitors who are angling for a new hobby this year may be interested to learn that the Lawyers’ Fishing Club will be holding its annual beginners’ and new members’ day on Saturday 2 April at Rib Valley Lakes, near Ware in Hertfordshire.

Intriguingly, as well as the usual wellies and waterproof coat, and despite the hardly balmy conditions, participants need to bring ‘sunglasses or glasses, as eye protection is essential’. Sounds like there must be a few personal injury lawyers in the group. Contact nmarshall@mayerbrown.com.
