Good afternoon folks! Here we are, yet another glorious bank holiday. I don't know about you but it seems to me that we have far too many bank holidays grouped around this time of year? We may even get another one if the 23rd (St Georges day) is made a bank holiday too. I think we could do with a couple between August - Christmas and Christmas - Easter. Maybe you can't do a lot in the middle of winter but it would be nice, for those of you unfortunate enough to have to work, to have bit of a winter break.

Two deaths have been reported over this weekend that I think deserve comment on. Firstly, the death has occurred of, one of only about a dozen, first world war veterans at the age of 106. Difficult to appreciate just how long ago that conflict was. The second death is much more close to mind. The 87th fatal casualty of the present Iraqi war has claimed the life of yet another of our brave lads and lassies still out there in the sand pit. To the relatives and friends of both deceased, and on behalf of this Association, I would like to extend our sincerest condolences to you all. They shall not be forgotten. On that sad note, I'll leave you for now. Speak to you all again soon........
