Firms waive fees for charity
A joint initiative was recently held by our firm, Mayo Wynne Baxter
solicitors, and BENNETT CHRISTMAS INSURANCE BROKERS in
Burgess Hill to raise money for local causes. Both firms waived a
percentage of their fees for any work referred to each other. A total
of £600 was raised and this was divided between the nominated
charities for each firm, Macmillan Cancer Research to help
support the development of the Horizon Centre in Brighton, and St
Peter & St James Hospice in North Chailey.
Our firm is one of the largest Law firms in Sussex with nine offices
across the region offering an award winning level of service, while
providing a wide range of legal solutions for both private clients
and for business. Bennett Christmas is a local, independent and
friendly firm of INSURANCE BROKERS that offers a high level of
expert and professional service, whether you are a business or an
individual.

All the fun of the footgolf…
Of all the things I had thought
might be possible after deciding
to pursue a career in law,
footgolf was not one of them.

The concept is straightforward:
Navigate a nine-hole golf
course by kicking a football
into a “flag” (aka a hula hoop
positioned around the flag)
around a golf course in the
lowest possible number of
shots (“kicks”). What is less
straightforward, as some of my
team mates can readily testify,
is keeping the football out of the
bunkers and water traps.
“Albion in the Community,”
was the sponsored charity, so
the event was in aid of a good
cause, and the venue was
Mid Sussex Golf Course, a
picturesque setting for what, on
any other occasion would have
been a beautiful evening for
serious golfers to bear down on
their handicaps. As it was the
members were greeted with a
motley crew of ageing solicitors
and other professionals, all
of whom really should have
known better.
Would I do it again? Yes,
especially, if the weather was as
good at it was this year; the sort
of English Summer evening that
might have persuaded Blake
to pen a sequel to Jerusalem.
Even the English Cricket Team
were giving a good account of
themselves, the applause of
an ecstatic Edgbaston crowd,
still ringing in our ears as we
made our way to the first Tee.
Anyone lacking a sense of
humour or wanting to retain a
sense of dignity, however, need
not apply.
