I have to admit that I rather hit the wall towards the end of last year and the blog has been a casualty. I don’t want to make a lot of excuses, except to say that the blog got pushed out of my mind altogether as a result of the work involved in the governance working group, Conference of course, and then there were some rather vexing ramifications I had to work through that arose as a result of the governance working group report and my President’s Report. All this stuff gets done after hours at the end of my normal working day and I just ran out of energy for the blog.

All this stuff gets done after hours at the end of my normal working day and I just ran out of energy for the blog. You’ll be hearing more very shortly about the governance working group report, what it’s all about and as much as I can tell you about the ramifications it caused.

But I did get to have a good break over Christmas and I do think I see things a lot clearer now in my own mind and I’m sure that will start to influence how I approach the issues we are working on.

The main purpose of the blog is to keep you up to date with what we’re up to. I can tell you we’re well and truly back into it for this year. The Board has met once already and we’re meeting again this weekend. This weekend we’ll be putting time into some strategic thinking. I’ll have more news on the outcomes of these meetings in the next couple of weeks. Suffice it to say that the blog is back and you’ll be reading a lot more very shortly about some of the serious challenges we are having to face.
