1. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

As I pen this message, there are only 14 days to Christmas where the rush is on to have everything possible done before the 25th and hopefully many of you achieve this.

I have been invited for four days of High Country tailing where cell phones don’t work and no vehicle traffic anywhere and I am looking forward to doing this.

On the South Devon news front we have had a positive response from Silver Fern Farms with improving schedule pricing for our farm product. It is a shame that the climate conditions are not allowing our membership to enjoy this increase but unfortunately Mother Nature has the last say.

On behalf of Ann and myself we would extend our very best wishes to all members and their families for a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.

Brian Thomson
President
