OA 50s/60s Day
9 May 2014
Each year the 50s/60s OA group holds
a reunion in a place of interest. This year
Richard Leathem (1964) organised a tour
of the Inns of Court and Royal Courts of
Justice. This included a visit to Temple
Church, lunch in the 16th century Middle
Temple dining hall, a tour of the latest
technological court with Sir Vivian Ramsay
(sitting High Court Judge and OA 1968)
and dinner at Lincoln’s Inn. Attendees
enjoyed the interesting and fun tour and
even lawyers present were surprised to find
hidden treasures.
