15th August 2013
Location: Oyster Shed
Sponsors: Maples and Cadler (Leading Law Firm) & The Cayman Islands Shipping Registry. We successfully held our 3rd AGM, where we elected our ‘new’ Board for 2013/4, and summed up the year that passed.
Immediately thereafter, we proceeded to enjoy our traditional annual Summer Drinks at the Oyster Shed (**NEW SPNL VENUE**),
situated on the river Thames with stunning views onto the Shard. This year we had an exotic twist, with both our co-sponsors having strong links with the Cayman Islands!
The event was kindly sponsored by Maples & Calder and the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry
