Brethren,

With Christmas fast approaching, Janet and I would like to take the opportunity to wish you, your family and friends a happy, joyful and peaceful Christmas and of course, a healthy and prosperous New Year.

As another busy year draws to a close, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the members of the Provincial team for the support received during the course of the year, it has been greatly appreciated.

I must put on record my thanks for the overwhelming response to the food bank appeal at our recent Provincial meeting which I know will make a huge difference to a great number of families this Christmas.

Please take the time to enjoy your Christmas break with your family and friends and perhaps spare a thought for those in need.

I look forward to having you join me in making 2023 another happy year together.

Again, wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Warm Mark regards.
