![]() Dear All, I’m sorry to inform you that I won’t be able to continue as the Chairman of the association as I’m moving to the Middle East in the next few weeks. The last few months have been pretty hectic for my family and I and it is pretty clear that I won’t be able to effectively discharge the role. I’ll be very happy to contribute from the desert and hope to see some pictures from the forthcoming Cenotaph parade in due course. Thank you very much for the support the committee has given me, in particular Al McFarland and Steve Brew who’ve been brilliant at keeping the website fresh and providing material. Kindest Regards Andy
