Ouch! We did not even start yet Dave! don't write of the exec for 2004 just yet or I will get very upset, and who knows what I may do!

But I do have a hope that, since we do now have a permanent web site, that can be used to maintain some sort of continuity, and will certainly make promotion easier...
Perhaps that is one of the disadvantages of not being part of a big body like BUSA, no permanent staff to keep records etc (One of the main reasons we are not a charity if I remember previous discussions here)
Is there a reason for no permanent bank account?
