Your New Editor...
I don't think I really need to announce my position as newsletter editor, but for all of you who missed the screams of "Where is our newsletter!" at the last pool session - I have taken the job. I'd like to thank Heather for all her hard work over the past 5 years, you've left a hard act to follow. You'll notice a profusion of links among the articles, as I'm keen to promote the internet. There will be more developments to come so watch this space!
Graham.
You'll also find a copy of this newsletter and all future editions on the

address then please let me know!
