2017...(and all that)...

On behalf of the Forum I would firstly like to take this opportunity of wishing each and every one of you a Very Happy New Year and to thank those of you who have stuck with us through 2016.
It's been quite a 'challenging' year with several 'outages' etc but I'm pleased (and not a little relieved) that this all seems to be (fingers firmly crossed) behind us now.

As we tend to drag out this topic annually, I thought it would be interesting to hear members' plans (New Year Resolutions, perhaps?) for the coming year. Gunnered has already outlined his upcoming project - any more plans from the others among you?

Also, perhaps you could send in details of mistakes made, regrets etc, in 2016 - for myself I think the low point has to be the loss of more Fish Shops, we really do need more, not less, but financial constraints and the economic 'temperature' here really are hitting some shops hard.

One last thing I'd like to mention, the entries for the Photocompetition Rounds really are at an all-time low, please consider sending in some entries to make the exercise of running them more worthwhile.

Again A Happy New Year to you all, with Many Happy Returns.

John
