ADAMS & REMERS AWARDS MAN OF THE MATCH AT LEWES FC

Adams & Remers sponsored the Lewes FC game vs Lowestoft on 17th March 2012. Matthew Searle, Partner Corporate & Commercial, accepted a commemorative plaque and our group of football supporters on the day (lawyers, staff and families) chose and awarded the 'Man of the Match'.

After the match, Charlie Nation-Dixon presented the Man of the Match champagne to the Rooks' number 9.

In sponsoring the match, Adams & Remers demonstrated its support of the community. Lewes Football Club is a Community Football Club - one of only a handful in England and on the Continent (of which Barcelona is one). A full account of the match is at this link.

QUIZ VICTORY FOR DEBUT ADAMS & REMERS LONDON TEAM: Helping to Raise £782 for Evelina Children's Hospital

• Adams & Remers scooped a narrow one point victory in their debut in the Mayfair & St James’s Association quiz which took place on Thursday 22 March 2012, beating a number of other local London teams. The team from the firm’s Duke Street office included Simon Jones, Stuart Robertson, Joe Covill, Kathryn Parker and Robin Illingworth.

• Simon Jones from Adams & Remers comments: I think it’s fair to say that no one was more surprised than we were to win though we made it through the tie breaker round with flying colours. A fantastic evening was had by all.”

• The chosen charity for the evening was the Evelina Children’s Hospital (paediatric intensive care) at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital and £782 was raised.

• The winning team received six bottles of wine and were presented with a trophy which they are hoping to hang onto at future quiz nights.

We have recently supported the activities of community groups and registered charities including:

• Lewes Railway Land Wildlife Trust: On the edge of Lewes beside the River Ouse, over twenty acres of land, previously used as rail yards became a neglected wasteland for 25 years. The land was saved from development by residents and is now a prized nature reserve around which several social and ecological projects gravitate.

• Southover Church Monday Club:

• Reed Court & Boughey Place Club: Funding provides elderly and disabled residents in sheltered housing in Lewes with a summer outing programme, including specialised transport for disabled residents.
