But of course there was also a winner. Congratulations 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland, who beat England (South) in the final. Same time next year?

A special thank you to our dedicated Chairs, whose hard work, passion and commitment to representing their regions throughout the year are at the very heart of the CLASS Bar Awards. It was a pleasure to bring everyone together to celebrate and recognise all that they do. Beautifully organised by @annasebastianhospitality with thanks to all who made the occasion so memorable. ✨
