Since the last issue unfortunately I have had to have a second decompression surgery on my spine which was in March, but this all went well I am relieved to say. I was back at work after one week, albeit gradually but recovery is a slow process. It took around 4 weeks to be able to walk again properly and go out, apparently caused by years of sport and getting older!

I have been busy working on the 2024 Yearbook which is complete, and this is on track to be delivered to members around 1st October. Organising has also started on APEA Live 2023.

The Bulletin

We are always looking for press releases and articles for The Bulletin. If you have anything you think would interest our readers, please email it to me at admin@apea.org.uk and I will forward it to the editor Brian Humm to approve.

2024 Yearbook

Thanks to all of you that completed entries online for the 2024 Yearbook and to the advertisers who, without your bookings, we would not be able to produce this publication.

The artwork is at the printers and the Yearbooks will be distributed on 1st October. If you have not received your copy by the end of October please let me know and I will chase up your delivery. We only have a limited number of spare copies so you need to contact me by the end of October if you have not received your copy.

Individual/Retired members in the UK and Corporate members overseas will be sent their Yearbooks by standard Royal Mail. Corporate members in the UK will receive their 5 copies by courier which are tracked, so we can follow up any non-deliveries.
