Once you have entered a team, you can spend several hours each week pondering the transfers you need to make, or you may decide to make no changes at all.

If you played last year, when you rejoin the game this time you will automatically be entered into our league. If not, please get in touch with us for more information regarding how to join.

Our unique league code is 1xhuhu (case sensitive). Please pass this on to your family, friends and colleagues who may be interested.

A big thank you to Handelsbanken for inviting Chris to Cartmel Races yesterday.

It was a great opportunity to catch up with fellow professionals and take in the unique atmosphere of one of Cumbria's most iconic sporting events.

One of the highlights was seeing Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding presented as a prize for the winning jockeys. While we're sure the trophy was impressive, we're not entirely convinced it was the thing they were most excited to take home!

It was great to catch up with familiar faces, make new connections, and enjoy some excellent food in the sunshine at The Borough, Lancaster.

A big thank you to the Chamber team for organising another brilliant event.

Christopher, Damien, Theo and Laura enjoyed attending the Rathbones Hog Roast Summer Party at Levens Hall last night.

It was a great evening spent catching up with contacts old and new, making new connections, and enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Levens Hall. The food, hospitality and atmosphere were all excellent, making for a thoroughly enjoyable event.

We're also pleased to report that Damien's red trousers made their annual appearance, a sign that the summer networking season is officially underway!

A big thank you to the Rathbones Kendal team for hosting and organising such a fantastic evening. We look forward to attending again next year.

On Saturday, Hannah took part in the Cross Bay Walk from Arnside to Grange-over-Sands in support of the Quilter Foundation.

A big thank you to Annabel Lumsden and Harvinder Rathore for organising such a fantastic event. It was great to spend time with professionals from TP Financial Solutions, Wright & Lord Solicitors, and Quilter Cheviot, while raising money for an important cause.

The day was rounded off perfectly with some delicious homemade food from Geeta.

Chris and Theo recently had the pleasure of attending a flight simulator experience at Runway Flight Simulators Ltd, thanks to Mark Colman from Leonard Curtis.

From flying a Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 to taking control of a Spitfire and the iconic Vulcan B.2, the day was packed with challenges, learning experiences, and plenty of friendly competition.

It was a great opportunity to connect with other professionals, enjoy some healthy competition, and experience firsthand the skill and precision required in aviation.

Many thanks to Mark and the Leonard Curtis team for their hospitality and for organising such an enjoyable event.

Lovely to attend Oglethorpe Sturton & Gillibrand Solicitors' Summer Garden Party. Despite the unpredictable weather, we still managed to get outside and make the most of the evening!

It was great to catch up with fellow professionals from across the region and equally nice to meet some new faces. Always a pleasure to connect, share ideas, and strengthen relationships within our local business community.

Last night, Chris and Damien were delighted to attend Handelsbanken’s Midsummer event at Lancaster Castle.

A fantastic evening celebrating the long-standing Swedish Midsummer tradition of coming together to welcome the summer season, with great company, drinks, canapés, and refreshments from Atkinson's Coffee.

It was also a pleasure to hear from guest speaker Martin Bjornberg, UK Chief Financial Officer at Handelsbanken, and to catch up with fellow professionals throughout the evening.

Thank you to Handelsbanken for hosting such an enjoyable and well-organised event in a wonderful setting.
