In Touch Up North
The really odd thing about writing a piece a few months in advance, is that little question in your head going, “what’s going to have happened since writing this?” Now pre 2020 it would be, well probably not much. Then of course Little Miss Pandemic and Mr COVID, rudely came along, inviting Little Miss Lockdown and Mr Restriction to town.
Thankfully, due to Mr and Little Miss Vaccination, things were gradually getting to a slightly better level, but by the time I re-read this I’m not sure who will have joined the party!

I’m hoping that we’ll have all finally got around to doing the physical Happy New Year’s celebrations missed from 2021 or at least some of them.

Going with optimism for the new year a good bit of housekeeping seems sensible, and this is where you can help us.
If like so many people, in the past year you have moved house, jobs or email providers then we would love to keep in touch with you. I know there are more important people to tell, however, spare us 5 minutes please and let me know - trevor. robson@iccm-uk.com and we’ll make sure your Journal gets to you as well as membership newsletters and all important updates.
We’ve also been good at checking how our courses have been going with feedback. If you’ve attended one and given us feedback, then thank you very much, it has been really positive and useful. Our trainers know that a screen to stare at and talk to can be a bit different to a human being in front of you, but if it works then it’s a positive. Guess what, we’ve had lots of positives and the comments help us tweak things where needed. Again, we ask for 5 minutes of your time for this and if survey monkey is right, then it says it takes 5 minutes to do.
Memberships
It’s the most wonderful time of year… I’ll be sorting out the membership renewals – just to clarify, ICCM subscriptions for 2022 – 23 will run from 01/4/2022 until 31/03/2023 - bills will be issued after the 1st April 2022 and if your employer pays your bill then please send me a purchase order and I will be able to process it that way.
At this time the Board have not indicated a change in fees so they’ll be – £95 for an associate member £110 for a fellow or full member £95 for a parish or town council £160 for an associate corporate member and finally £455 for a Local authority or private cemetery or crematorium
