Lovely evening at The Alverton, Truro attending Cornwall Law Society Annual Dinner hosted by President Fred in his typically laid back style. Thanks to CLS for your great hospitality.

Our sell out Awards Night moves a stage closer. My speech is written. Sixteen days and counting.

Excellent roundtable with Landmark at WBW, Exeter this morning on current topics pertinent to residential conveyancing and a bit of future gazing. Nine firms from Devon & Somerset represented. Pictured with Tony Rollason of Landmark and Tony Steiner, DASLS Executive Director.

With just over a week to go to DASLS Awards, the President is in serious training for the After Party at The Terrace Rooftop Bar in the Guildhall, Exeter. Cheers!

Since opening in June, DASLS President has, with Boycott like application & concentration, prodded & probed its way to 49 (followers) not out. Hope to sneak at least a single more so to raise an acknowledging bat before retiring to Past Presidents’ pavilion at the end of April.

Maintaining the cricketing theme for one more tweet, a swift four more supporters moves the President on to 53, a ripple of polite applause from the stands and a nod of appreciation from DASLS itself to those who have most recently started following this account.

Ok. Here we go. Sound check done. Cathedral is looking magnificent. Just over two hours to go till the start of the drinks reception. I hope everyone attending has a great night.

I never do selfies but this is an exception with the Excellent Exeter Rock Choir in full voice

I expect there were plenty of blurry heads in offices today for those who partied hard (yet responsibly) at The Terrace into the early hours. Good to see so many there. As I spent last evening on water, it’s time for a glass or two of Pinot Noir kindly sponsored by Money Penny.

Rebecca Parkman and I have just completed best part of 9 mile walk with Sue Aggett from Minehead to Porlock Weir. Sue is raising funds for Air Ambulance Services covering Devon & Somerset walking one third of South West Coast Path. See her Facebook page for link to sponsor her.

In the last few days of my presidency, disappointed not to be able to represent DASLS at Leicestershire Law Society annual dinner held last night. Hope everyone there had a great time.

My year as President comes to an end today, so this is my last tweet. At DASLS AGM this evening I hand over the President’s medal and this Twitter account to Nigel Lyons. Good luck to him for his year in office and thanks to all at DASLS who have supported me throughout my term.

Ok, one more tweet. Pictured with newly elected President Nigel Lyons (left) and new DVP Adrian Richards just after AGM this evening. I’m wearing the smile of a relaxed Immediate Past President. Good luck to Nigel, Adrian and VP Paul Kelly.

I am excited to introduce myself, Paul Kelly, as the new DASLS president. I am currently managing partner and head of the Parks team at Tozers, and after being DASLS vice-president I am looking forward to the opportunities the role of president brings.

Along with our friends @HeadwayDevon we are delighted to be the DASLS President #charity of the year. Looking forward to #workingtogether #southwest #charitiestogether ❤️

It's good to hear that SRA have dropped the proposed Compensation Fund cuts. This is good news for the profession as we have great pride in our high levels of consumer protection.

Our Autumn programme of training with live events being planned is now live on our website. Excited to see some of our regular speakers back in the South West with St John's Chambers giving their annual Update for Contentious Probate - ow.ly/2wSm50FgHfz

Delighted to have attended the Plymouth Law Society 2021 dinner at Home Park on Friday 1st October. A wonderful evening with money being raised for St Luke's Hospice Plymouth #PLSDinner2021 #pafc

Thanks to all who made the Legal Service ExeterCathedral possible last week and to Exeter City Council for providing the photo. It was fantastic to have attended this event DASLS

As my time as DASLS President comes to an end, I reflect on the #honour it’s been to be #President, thank you all for the support I have had. I hand over the President’s medal to Adrian Richards and I wish him all the best for the 2022/23 term.
