ICYMI: Titan Development Ltd. Claimed 1st Place at 2016 Chamber Golf Classic 
The Chamber Golf Classic took place at North Sound Golf Club on Friday November 4, with Titan Development Ltd. storming the round to take 1st place.
The overcast morning left doubt as to whether the tournament would go ahead, with the appearance of heavy rain a very likely event at the time. However, by midday, the sun appeared for a truly glorious afternoon of golfing.
25 teams battled it out in a 4 Man Scramble round over the course of the next 5 hours, with law firms Walkers Global and Broadhurst LLC securing 2nd and 3rd place respectively. But it was Titan Development Ltd. who would go on to win the event, with an incredible score of 50.

This two hour course covers the obligations of a landlord and tenant in both residential and commercial leases. The course will provide a greater understanding of the landlord and tenant relationship, the salient provisions of the Registered Land Law (2004 Revision) and the remedies available to landlords such as forfeiture, possession and distraint.
