L&C's social life

One of the main social events at L&C is the annual company meeting, at which staff formally hear about the progress of the company and its future aims and goals.  This event reflects the ethos at L&C: there is a really serious element of commitment and work reflected in the formal speeches at the outset of the evening, followed by a relaxed evening of entertainment, dinner and disco.

We are fortunate at L&C to enjoy great relations with the mortgage lenders with whom we liaise.  As a result, mortgage lenders often host evenings for our staff during which they may generously provide drinks and/or food.  Often these evenings take place in a bar in town, facilitating attendance for all staff.  These events are not only a great way to forge relationships with the mortgage lenders, but also for staff to socialise with each other.  

Often events are organised by staff at L&C, who take it upon themselves to organise a social evening.  In 2004, a member of staff organised a pink party at the local pub in aid of breast cancer research, which raised £1,500.  And in March 2006, two members of staff organised a spring ball at the renowned Bath Pump Rooms, which was a formal dress event with dinner and disco. 

As well as get togethers to watch football/rugby/cricket matches and the healthy competition amongst staff and directors caused by the annual Fantasy Football League at L&C, there is also an L&C football team which meets once a week at Bath University which has been running for over 6 years, plus the table tennis club.

Normally, sporting life at L&C is created by demand and personal choice – for example, a member of staff is currently trying to organise a cycling club, and many staff seek sponsorship through the Social intranet folder for charity fun runs, walks etc or train together for the Bath Half Marathon.
