Our first ‘formal’ event and yet so informal; champagne aplenty, an Indian buffet, table football, open-air pool tables and big Connect Four. Old friends and new connections blended with “liquid ease”. Our non-hierarchical view manifested itself under summery blue skies as the CLFS was born. Counsel buying rounds, secretaries singing, the hosts on a roll and the decision that we were a “Friendly Society” saw the original Philosophy Club and Parochial Trust renamed on the night as the CLFS.
