A big thank you to the Richmond Field Days & Races for the opportunity to sponsor their fantastic event in 2026!

Keir Steele Waldon Lawyers senior team had an amazing weekend, taking in all the action from the racing events.
It was great to see so many familiar faces, and giving one lucky family a new Weber BBQ!
As the dust settles on another successful event, we can safely say it was a weekend to remember. We even managed to add our own adventure and pit stops on the way home.

We are already looking forward for the next opportunity to see you out west!
