Society of Young Solicitors
Twenty-First
Anniversary
Seminar
The S.Y.S. is holding a special anniversary seminar in
Mullingar to mark its coming of age. In 1965 a band of
young adventurous solicitors held their first meeting in
Mullingar and this year's Committee has decided to
return to the scene of the crime.
The seminar will be held on the 9th, 10th and 11th of
May 1986 at the Bloomfield House Hotel, Mullingar and
promises to be a memorable week-end. For twenty-one
years now the S.Y.S. has been providing lectures as will
as a venue for solicitors to exchange views and experiences
of practice, procedure and the profession in general. This
seminar in Mullingar will be marked by a lecture from
the President of the High Court, Mr Justice Hamilton
and also by lectures from three former Chairmen of the
S.Y.S., Mr. Bruce St.John Blake, Mr. John F. Buckley
were both founding members of the S.Y.S. and the
present Committee are delighted to see that they are still
sufficiently mobile and alert to join in the anniversary
seminar!
Mr. Blake is giving his lecture on Occupational Injuries
and Mr. John F. Buckley is dealing with the subject of
Landlord & Tenant. On Saturday afternoon Mr. William
Earley will deal with the law relating to computers and
Mr. Justice Liam Hamilton will be speaking on Sunday
morning about the changing High Court.
The Committee are intent on making this week-end a
very special one and there is lots on the menu! Bloomfield
House hotel has a lovely "country house" atmosphere
and is surrounded by an array of lakes, forests and
beautiful country-side. Wind-surfing, tennis (come
prepared for the mixed tournament), golf, horse-riding
and fishing will be available and a car treasure hunt has
been organised.
Friday night opens with a disco and this will be the first
twenty-first birthday party of the week-end. Saturday
night boasts the Gala Twenty-first Anniversary Ball with
lots of spot prizes to be won and you should note that
for the first time this will be a strictly black tie affair,
the S.Y.S. have become respectable! On Sunday morning
the President of the High Court, Mr. Justice Hamilton
will be delivering his lecture and you can spend the
afternoon taking a boat on Lough Owel or Lough
