I hope you enjoy the varied content in this issue with its reports of activities and talks and articles by Members. Talking about the latter, I have now used all those that have been sent to me so please write your ‘Hawker’ story. It doesn’t matter how rough it is, it’s my job (and pleasure) to smooth it out. Believe me, your story, although familiar to you of course, will be of great interest to other Members. The Editor still needs your stories.
