I was delighted to attend the AirSP Quiz night on the 28th November and to meet so many lovely people who told me their own cancer experience and how Macmillan had been there to help. We all know that being told ‘you have cancer’ can affect so much more than your health – it can affect your family, your job, even your ability to pay the bills. But life with cancer is still life and Macmillan gets that. And, after over 100 years of helping so many people, we get what’s most important: that we treat everyone as a person, not just a patient.
The fantastic £609.66 that you raised from the quiz night is enough to pay for a Macmillan nurse for 22 hours. So, with your help we are able to do more for people living with cancer, giving each person the support they need to look after all that matters and take care of their health, protect personal relationships and deal with work and money worries. We want to help everyone with cancer find their best way through, from the moment of diagnosis, so they’re able to live life as fully as they can. You have helped us make that happen, so thank you to everyone who organised and took part in the event.
For more information on Macmillan and how you can fundraise or volunteer please call 0300 1000 200 or visit macmillan.org.uk.

AirSP in Wonderland! Our pre-Christmas Quiz in Davy’s Habit wine bar had everyone entertained and puzzled, all at the same time. Generous sponsors made for a great evening’s fun and all in support of Macmillan Cancer. The Mad Catter got the evening off to a brisk start, followed by Quizmaster & Cheshire Cat, Robert Harrison. Heads 'n’ Tails was a huge success, and then came the questions! Jokers flew hither & thither; drinks were had and we had a goodly spread of food.
The winners were - The Unbearable Politeness of Scheming! You know who you are!
A brilliant raffle added some lovely funds to send to a great cause …
(Prizes were sponsored by Byward Kitchen, Davy's, Challenge Group, Robert Harrison, Res Bachofner, Tracy Bailey, Gerard Dupré, David Brackenbury & AirSP)
A suitably frightening topic for AirSP’s Halloween seminar - Litigation Funding & After-the-Event Insurance - was given by the doyen of the subject Rocco Pirozzolo. As we approach nearly 20 years since the extinction of "Champerty" and the cork exploding from the Pandora's Box of assisting funding, Rocco brought us all up-to-date on the increasingly mature market of how litigation is being commoditised for the 21st century.
It truly is a new world of opportunities to invest in and develop. So, if you're a likely or unlikely litigant, a part BTE insured, a broker with a disgruntled insured, an insurer or reinsurer, corporate adviser, investigator, insolvency practitioner, non-exec, director, government official - or basically anyone - look sideways these days; litigation through third party assistance might be for you.

Once again, the Association threw it’s weight behind the Spirit of the Monte Carlo Rendez-Vous with a splendid dinner at our traditional venue, the Quai Des Artistes on the Marina waterfront. Members and guests were able to take a break from their busy day schedule with a truly relaxing atmosphere in which to convert “business" into “friendship”. We really are very lucky to have secured this wonderful spot and our “regulars” status is always rewarded by the best seats in the house, the best food and the best wine all at preferential rates. It all goes to prove once again that being part of AIRSP gets results way beyond the average.
