Happy New year one and all.

 Brilliant party last night.  It was wonderful to see so many there – regulars of course, a few lapsed members and some new faces too.  Wonderful.   Particular thanks to Julia (of course) for organising it all and to those who took part in the entertainment.  For those of you who missed it, here’s a link to some of the proceedings:
