A Note of Appreciation & Request for Help:

TWHAS has been extremely fortunate for many years to have had excellent annual programmes of talks arranged by Cathy Capel-Davies. Even she can't remember exactly how long she has been doing the job but it must be something like 22 years! In 2010 she decided to take a well-earned retirement. As no-one had volunteered to replace her, she very kindly stepped into the breach for another year and arranged the 2012 programme. We thank Cathy for her brilliant line-up of topics and speakers - she will be a very hard act to follow!

However, Cathy has left her successor a huge list of contacts and ideas for future speakers. If you would be prepared to volunteer for the job, please contact the Chairman, Steve Capel-Davies on 01491 826734 or by e-mail to steve.capel-davies@scd.myzen.co.uk
