Changeover to 2019-2020

At a glittering evening spent in the Grand Hall at Parliament to celebrate the end of a successful year and the exciting start of a new one, outgoing President Donna Reed covered the many successes and achievements that had occurred during her year which you can read about in Mike Doig's précis here. Throughout the proceedings, an excellent presentation of Donna's year, produced by Phillip Reidy, ran on the big screen.  Highlights_2018-2019  You can see the power point presentation that accompanied her speech, ably produced by Peter Sinke, here. 2018-2019_achievements

Parting thought

In view of the political and very splendid venue in which we found ourselves for the Changeover celebration, Bruce Couch gave us a parting thought from Groucho Marx, 'Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies'.
