Our regular venue, Bow Wine Vaults, is beginning to look rather small. We had a very good turnout for our December 2, 2009 holiday gathering, and received several apologies from Alumni members who were travelling, or who just could not make it into London that evening 

We were delighted to see Robert Binney, Ian Hart, Simon Jackson, Valerie Johnson Kinga Kowaleska, Douglas Bonnar, Ken Picknell, Peter Warr, Ingeborg Warschke, Kate McKuen, Kim Wiehl, Annie McMahon, Jonathan Timpson, George Stein, Brian Millard, Terry Mullervy, Bill Byrd, Larry Weiss, Hilary Winter, John Oakes, Erwin Roex, Charles Stephens, Peter Franklin, Cindy Parker, Richard Ingham, Philip Pirie, Chuck Snodgrass and Chris Church, with apologies on the day from Doug MacCabe and Lee Turkel.

I do apologise to those of you who failed to keep still long enough for a worthwhile photograph.

A number of members have suggested a change of venue for the Summer drinks party, which will be held on Wednesday, 26 May 2010. Hold the date and wait for further news about the venue!

Have a wonderful Christmas break, and I look forward to seeing you all in the New Year.
