industry.

6. Secretaries Report
David Robb gave a resumé of the previous year and hoped that the programme had been enjoyable and in-
formative. The year ended with another successful Photo Competition. David thanked everyone who took
part. Next year’s competition topics will be published in the newsletter. Last year was challenging to create
an interesting programme. David asked that members come forward with topics for future meetings and ex-
pressed a hope that members offer their own presentations. Articles are also needed for the newsletter. The
committee can only do so much. We need member’s input!
