G’day. I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year break, and none of you broke your credit cards. I always lock mine in the safe, the joys of being an impulse buyer.
Regrettably, due to an illness in the family, Sandie has resigned her position on the committee. On behalf of the Guild, I would like to pass on our best wishes to Sandie and her family. Sandie is still looking after the membership renewals, so these can be sent to her. Adam and I will be looking after everything else until the A.G.M, so please direct everything else to one of us.
