Editorial 

So far our search for a new Chairman has been unsuccessful with nobody coming forward or suggesting a name. This is not an onerous job: chairing the monthly committee meetings, signing off the minutes prepared by the secretary, occasionally representing the Association, at outside meetings or functions and occasionally sending letters drafted by the committee. A short Chairman’s report is needed for the AGM as are a few jokes for the Christmas lunch. Please consider doing this straightforward  and enjoyable job, fully supported by the experienced committee.
