At the 20th March Admission ceremony, twenty two applicants were admitted (too many to include a photo of everyone! - Geoff).

The event was held in the old Court Room, with refreshments in the adjacent Judges room. The old court was an unusual and interesting alternative to the Old Library normally used. The Lord Mayor also attended with the Sheriff, with our Chair saying some words of welcome.

This was the largest intake for some time, including an impressive thirteen from the wider Goodall family, one dialling in via Teams from abroad. This number necessitated the Oath ceremony being undertaken in two groups. It was a very convivial atmosphere with some humour mixed in with the formality. Thanks were given to the civic office team who organised it efficiently as ever.
