THE EAGLE Sports & Societies
The Winfield Society The Winfield Society has once again had a very successful year. A highlight in the Michaelmas term was the Winfield Society Networking Event, organised by the Development Office, held at Allen & Overy in London. The Senior Partner, David Morley (1976), gave an interesting talk on diversity in the legal profession. Afterwards, current undergraduates enjoyed the opportunity to talk with alumni of the College. This year the Society has become even more active in providing careers advice for our students, which we consider especially important given the economy’s recent turmoil. We hosted a series of workshops with trainees from Lovells, who gave some invaluable advice on interview technique and how the City works. Michaelmas term was ended on the usual high note, with a particularly excellent Christmas Party, generously sponsored by Freshfields.
SPORTS & SOCIETIES
As always, mooting has been a key feature of Winfield activities, and we were lucky enough to have David Myhill of Crown Office Chambers provide some intensive coaching for our first years. The standard in our Annual Mooting competition was very high, with Adrian Woon being announced as the overall winner, and Waheed Chaudhrey as runner up. We are very pleased that we had a number of students participating in University competitions also. We would like to thank Mr Nolan, Ms Waring and our Committee for all their support over the year. We have been delighted with the Society’s achievements, and wish the Committee for 2010/11 the very best of luck. Rebecca Arnheim and Adam Bond Co-Presidents
