Can I start by offering my congratulations to the record number of trainees who have successfully completed Parts 1 and 2 of the Introductory Examination. It has been encouraging to see so many of the new recruits in attendance and fully participating at training each Tuesday evening. Credit is also due to the Tutorial Team for all of their efforts in getting everyone prepared to sit the exam.

The next meeting will be held on Thursday 13th November and I look forward to seeing as many members as possible in attendance.

The highlight of the Association's Social Calendar took place on Saturday 25th October. Photos of the night can be found on the Social Events page. Thanks to John Watson and the Social Committee for a very enjoyable evening 

Council have been encouraged by the response to the questionnaire and the results are now being analysed as we look to shape the future direction of the Association.

Finally the Association cannot function without the support of its members and if anyone wishes to serve the Association in any capacity can you please speak to me or one of my fellow Council members.

Colin.
