From the Editor

Editorial 

Welcome to the first edition of In Touch under my new editorship.

I would like to pay tribute to  George Seward for the sterling work he has done over the last 7 years as editor and the invaluable help he has given me in taking over.
I am pleased that George will still be involved on the distribution side.

I would also like to say thank you to Tom Ashmore who has also helped me in setting up the new format.

I feel a bit like Chris Evans must have felt taking over from Terry Wogan. George, a seasoned and well loved veteran with a loyal following his own unique style and sense of humour that cannot be matched. Hopefully I will not be seen as ‘loud’ as Chris Evans who has been accused of upsetting the TOGS, and demands for his sacking grow louder each week.

You will see there is a new style to the newsletter. I know the original style set up by Tom Ashmore was well loved and I didn’t take the decision to change lightly. The reasons are mainly practical in that the new format saves much work in printing and stapling.

I strongly believe that this is your newsletter and it is an integral part of branch communications.

If you have any suggestions for improving  In Touch then drop me a line. Contact details are on the back cover.

I hope you grow to like the new look and that  the magazine will be seen as a worthy successor to those produced under the  expertise of the  previous editors.
