Week 9-24 August

The week began with a late flight home from a week-end General Council meeting at RIBI's HQ. The range of matters discussed over the week-end was wide to say the least and I was enormously impressed by the huge amount of work undertaken by the HQ staff who did everything possible to help, and to smooth our various travels.It is also quite remarkable how far ahead planning now needs to take place, with the RIBI Conference in Bournemouth and the RI Convention in Montreal now very firmly in everyone's sights. Both promise to be first class events and well worth the effort of attending. With the latter having a particularly Scottish dimension, with John Kenny as RI President, I will certainly be making every endeavour to attend.
