I would like to start this report by paying tribute to David Wilson, a totally committed member of this committee, who was always keen to offer new ideas and very supportive of all initiatives. We miss him dearly. Other members of the committee were Robin Aitken, Mike Fackney, Annette Ruck, Paddy Wells and myself.
Please study and plan ahead, especially if you are on duty to write a Bulletin Contribution. A reminder that it's also your responsibility to find a replacement if you are unable to fulfill your duty.
