Earlier this week the Annual APL Golf Day took place in the glorious September sun.  Over 70 (our biggest event yet) enjoyed a round of golf at the prestigious Coombe Hill Golf Club which was followed by a late lunch and prize giving. Our thanks to everyone who took part and to our sponsors, Brecher, Savills & Currie Brown.

Earlier this month a group of APL members dodged the rain and made it through the northern line issues to attend the C&W APL seminar on Substitution and the End of Real Estate.   We have had great feedback from attendees who 'hadn't heard anything like it before' and particularly liked the way it was brought back to what it meant for the audience.  Below is a summary from the seminar:

Last night saw the APL summer BBQ,  kindly hosted by Knight Frank and organised by Jeremy Tham and Alice Harding.

The weather was kind and over 100 people enjoyed a BBQ and drinks accompanied by live music on Knight Frank’s 6th floor terrace.

We are delighted to say that APL Board member Emma Jack completed the London Marathon in April, completing the 26 miles and raising money for Missing People.  The APL were pleased to be able to sponsor her efforts.

In the fourth of four donations to charity following the Annual Fund Raising Dinner,  the APL were delighted to provide a cheque for £15,000 to Muscular Dystrophy.

Muscular Dystrophy told the APL “We are delighted to have been a beneficiary of the APL dinner once again and are astonished that the group’s contribution has now reached £76k over the years.  The impact that this has had for funding research into rare muscle wasting conditions is significant.  We are getting closer to our goal of finding treatments and cures for all types of muscle wasting conditions and appreciate your part in this progress”.
