Last Friday, Sills & Betteridge held a Cake Sale in aid of the Lincoln Cathedral's Turret Restoration Campaign. We had some fabulous chocolate cupcakes drizzled in caramel and chocolate shavings made by the lovely Sammy Fawcett and a simple Victoria sponge with a lemon buttercream and jam filling made by myself.
We'd like to give a huge thank you to Sammy who was kind enough to make 80 of those delicious cupcakes and also a massive thank you to those that donated.
To the people carrying on raising money, we'd like to wish you good luck and all the best!

We hope to continue sponsoring and supporting them.
Lincoln Cathedral is holding a small fundraising event on the 25th May 2012 in order to restore the great turrets that stand at either end of the West Front. Over the centuries, they have withstood the elements and have gradually deteriorated to the point of needing a major programme of stone replacement, re-carving of decorative features and essential maintenance.
For this event, Sills & Betteridge have decided to have an in-house cake sale where our own staff will bake wonderful cakes for just a £1 a slice!
We hope we can contribute to restoring one of Lincoln's finest pieces of architecture.
For the teams and staff that participated in the finals, we just want to say a big thank you for all your hard work and effort and a hearty congratulations to the winning teams!

Tax Avoidance, Tycoons and Trips to the Seaside
Gary Phillips - Sills & Betteridge
Following the 2012 budget by George Osbourne, Sills & Betteridge Solicitor Gary Phillips takes us through his thoughts on the budget.
The Chancellor has announced a series of changes to the taxes paid by home buyers.
The headline rate of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) on residential purchases over £2 million has increased from 5% to 7%. Perhaps more significantly, the Chancellor has spelt out a commitment to close real or imaginary SDLT loopholes.
