REFLECTIONS FROM OUR EDITOR
Well, here we are – it’s nearly Christmas, and then, can you believe it, 2022. I hope you have been well throughout this rather unusual year, and whether working from home or from office, that your sanity has been preserved. Here at your Society, I was overjoyed that we have finally had a ‘real’ meeting as described by Rob Young, our President, and this was followed by an actual luncheon, just hours before such activities were once again frowned upon.

It did really highlight, however, the value of actual human interaction and how much more is gleaned from direct contact, and the chance to develop conversations and gain a better understanding and develop ideas instead of having a brief video window. Real live meetings might actually catch on!
We have a new feature starting this issue with a Chartered ONE BIG interview, and I’m delighted to have met with Nigel Lanceley, our High Sheriff who is a thoroughly charming and fascinating character.
I’ll be seeking out other local members of our Society in forthcoming issues, and do please let me know if there is someone who would have a story or two beyond the profession.
On the sporting front, it’s been fairly quiet since the last issue, and it seems that our cricketers will be having an Ashes challenge to change that; but huge commiserations of course to Lewis Hamilton on being ruthlessly and unfairly deprived of his historic 8th Formula 1 world championship.
I’m sure he’ll be overwhelmed by the good wishes of our members. It has reminisces of Tranmere Rovers being demoted from League ONE a couple of seasons ago.
Back to my first line, and may I wish you and your family and friends the very best for a happy and peaceful Christmas, and my very good wishes for everything that the new year will herald.
With very kind regards,
MARTYN BEST
Editor & Past President
