Chairman’s Piece

April 2022

Welcome to T.U.G.

Dear Members,

The majority of this issue is devoted to a reprint of an article by John Tipper published in the December 2012 issue of TUG. However we do have the standard Chairman's and Training Team pieces, two New Member introductions. a new Observer Profile, and the shortest Events Report you have ever seen.. Due to family circumstances mentioned elsewhere in this issue I shall be drawing back from EAMG, and the TUG editorship, for an indeterminate period. I have been editing TUG for 6 years now, which normally means 7 weeks of calm followed by one of steadily increasing panic. Still, there are few sensations to match that when you finally send the copy to the printers and you are, for a while, a free man again.
