President's Comments
 
Thanks for the extremely positive feedback on having 2 x ten-minute Chat sessions to commence our Meeting this week – it is just like walking past the bar at Kew pre-Meetings, remember….
 
 
Have a great safe week, stay well and Open Opportunities as lockdown eases…….
President Greg
