Just a final reminder about tomorrow:
- We will be departing at 1:30pm from St Giles, opposite St John’s college. Please arrive in good time and have lunch beforehand or bring something with you.
- You must bring payment with you: £10 in cash or a cheque.
- You will be able to leave your belongings on the coach whilst in London so feel free to bring work etc for the journey (if you want!)
- You will be given a presentation by Clifford Chance and a tour around their offices in London.
- You will then be taken to the strand and there will be some time for you to wander around and get food before the performance, so be sure to bring some money for this.
I hope you have a nice day!
