As the festive season approaches I am pleased to report another period of positive activity for the Society.

Hope you have had a good summer despite the vagaries of the weather. Rain, hail or shine the work of the Society continues to proceed apace and there is much to let you know about.

Apparently it’s summer, though no one seems to have told the Jet Stream which has taken a wrong turn and insisted on leaving Scotland drookit and damp!

Another month of good progress and with new opportunities for our wider success a cause for optimism, which is my natural pre-disposition!

Hello from a chilly Edinburgh in the second of my regular updates to members.

I wanted to write early in my tenure as your new Executive Director, to introduce myself and to let you know what I will be doing in the coming months.
