Thank you for subscribing to Q Solicitors' e-newsletter.

Tired of hearing about the floods?  So are we!  However, the damage caused by a disaster of this proportion does not fix itself over night.  Many of those whose houses and businesses were damaged, continue to struggle to rebuild their lives.

Like it or not, this affects us all indirectly, whether it be through the economy, the threat of a flood relief tax or the price of fresh produce.  How do we get things back on track?  Well we have an idea, and we need your help.  Read on....

Each year, as part of Q Solicitors' ongoing commitment to supporting the legal industry, we select a Law Graduate whom we provide with 3 months work experience.  For those not involved in the legal industry, it is a requirement for all graduates to complete their education with hands on experience in a legal firm.

Accordingly, we welcome Genevieve Cech to the Q team.  Genevieve hails from Yeppoon, studied Law at Bond University and has recently settled in Teneriffe. 

Coincidentally, we also welcome new receptionist Genevieve Hamer.  Genevieve has come to us from a retail background and is looking forward to working in a professional services environment.  Genevieve replaces Nicole who is now furthering her education at University.

With two Genevieve's in the office, this could prove to be a confusing few months.

Q Solicitors invites all our friends, clients and casual newsletter readers, out to dinner.  No, we're not paying for your dinner, but we would love to have your company, whilst we enjoy supporting a local flood affected business.

FreeStyle Tout at West End has been without power for almost seven weeks.  Power was reinstated just a few days ago, when an electrical storm occurred on Monday night, delaying their reopening further.

Restaurant owner Martin Duncan has struggled not to lose staff, as well as patrons during this time.  If you are interested in helping out FreeStyle Tout, please register your interest by clicking on the FreeStyle Tout logo below and sending your contact details to us.  We will contact you to advise the date of the event as soon as the restaurant is up and running.  Numbers are limited, so don't delay.

Oh!  And the 10^th person to register will WIN cinema tickets - see below for details

For your chance to win a double pass to "Rabbit Hole" starring Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart at Palace Centro Cinemas James Street, be the tenth person to register your interest in attending dinner at FreeStyle Tout.  All you have to do is click on the logo above.

Congratulations to Rodney Chambers of Teneriffe who won tickets to "The King's Speech".

A lawyer's wife became fed up with her brilliant husband who always seemed so sure of himself on points of law.  One afternoon, when their grandfather clock had just struck one she said, "If I were to smash that clock to pieces with a hammer, could I be charged with killing time?"

"Oh no," said her husband.  "It would be a case of self defence - the clock struck first."
