I hope that you all enjoyed Friday evening’s Changeover Dinner as much as Alison and I.  Thanks again must go to Barry and Julie and Ian for arranging such an enlightening and enjoyable evening as it was so obvious a lot of work went into the evening so that it was a success. Also many thanks to Paul for doing such a great job as MC for the evening, and also to Peter Merkesteyn for that lovely cover design of John McDonald  re last year’s  Club Annual report, as well as report context … thankyou all. Whilst on the ‘thanks’ line, another thankyou to Steve for making sure the club stayed on course during his spell of temporary Presidency during John’s illness. Now is the time to keep looking forward, and get our new programs up and running, develop further into research re Howards ‘Tanzania’ project, and make sure we keep intact all our existing fundraising activities  A busy year for all of us.            President Peter
