I would like to thank the Middlesex Law Society (MLS) Immediate, Past President Santokh Chhokar for all the hard work he has undertaken on behalf of the MLS last year.
Amongst numerous achievements he has introduced a simplified membership structure and obtained corporate sponsorship from both Barclays and HSBC banks for which we are extremely grateful.
I am extremely pleased Santokh has agreed to stay on the Committee and continue to obtain further corporate sponsorship.
I am pleased that the MLS Committee and Officers have agreed to stay on to assist me in trying to fulfil the aims set for our Golden Anniversary Year. I hope to be able to meet my obligations to the best of my abilities as your President this coming year.
