I must start by thanking and congratulating in this year's editorial team for the effort and hard work they hâve put| into this publication. They have worked well together, applying subtle pressure where necessary to ensure deadlines are met and the magazine maintains its high standards. The Resources Centre staff are simply incredibile in transforming sheets of paper into the glossy masterpiece you see before you. Dr Hosty as editor in chief remained alarmingly cairn throughout, unless of course articles disappeared, there was a lack of photos or the quality of English feil short of what one might expect. His leadership and organisation was the driving force behind the good shin Chronicle, but I cannot stress enough how much this production is a team effort.
