Good morning Folks
This certainly is a Good News Thursday – the sun is shining and the temperature is rising, albeit slowly from a very cold base!
.
Thank you to all our guests who attended the function on Monday when Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis gave the keynote address – and what an address it was!
For those who missed out – there’s more to come as we enter our 46th year today!

We have a revitalised, energised committee just waiting to welcome you on board – now more than ever do we need to work together, in co-operatiomn and collaboration!

One of the items on the agenda is the pre-advise of firming of export stacks which yours truly will be presenting, as we need to put a process in place, to ensure the smooth floe if our exports.
