Firstly, a big thank-you to all members, sponsors and friends who came along to our biggest day of the year. The Chain of Office was passed to Chris Underwood from the former chairman Armand Fasola. Armand has been the driving force of the Thames Valley since its creation in1998. He made it the most successful area in the country and will remain a member of the committee as an ambassador for the UKBG. Charlie Martin is the new treasurer. We would like to thank Ron for his hard work in translating Armand’s faxes.
