to the transcribers and of course our Web Master, without whom this "meeting place" would not exist let alone thrive :-)

Thank you for the privilege throughout the year of sharing in successes,
challenges, humour, anecdotes, information and so on. I was about to mention
specific names, then I realised that such a list could go on for quite a while.
After all, there are a lot of regular visitors to this forum and regardless of
how vocal or silent we've been, we are all fortunate to have so many cousins
sharing together.

During the year the web pages have been added to on a regular basis with lots of
useful information, for those of you who are not frequent visitors to our site
take a look through our Web site, as you may be surprised just what is there.

Whatever significance the Christmas and New Year season has for you, be it
religious or not, please allow me to wish you and your families and friends a
wonderfully joyous, peaceful, prosperous New Year.

Best Wishes to you all.

Dave Watkins
