Well, the summer is over and we are heading into the wet and gloomy depths of autumn from where we will slide and skid into the icy grip of winter. However there is a ray of warmth and happiness on the horizon! Our wonderful Order has much to offer to brighten our lives, not only in the many meetings between now and Christmas but also some special events. The London AMD autumn social night will be on Thursday 7th November where over dinner we shall have a fascinating talk on the VC, and our own District AGM will be on Saturday 16th November - please attend and support if possible as it is always a good day out. For more on these and for information on a wide range of activities across the District, please visit our website where in particular you will also find information on a photo competition for all of you camera or smartphone buffs. I look forward to seeing you at your meetings or elsewhere across the District.

Best wishes to you all,

Colin
