TICKING CLOCK…

About 2 years ago, I announced my intention to retire as newsletter editor and appealed for volunteers to take over. So far, there has been no response. As planned, I will be hanging up my stethoscope later this year so the autumn newsletter will be my last. If the paper newsletter – so recently reborn – isn’t to perish in infancy, then a successor (or two?) to my role has to step forward. Ideally, this would be in late summer to participate in the production of my final edition. I imagine, in a perfect world, he or she would be a younger member, able to carry on for several years to come, who is involved in Medical Society events, thus keeping a finger on the pulse of any news, and able to organise reports on activities for both website and paper newsletter.

Barrie Davies currently runs the website from Cyprus, and also lays out the paper edition. My responsibility is to chase copy then deal with the logistics of getting the paper copies printed, folded, into labelled envelopes and posted. Clearly, there would be advantages in returning all aspects of newsletter production and website maintenance to the local arena but the present system is manageable with only my bare minimum of IT skill. Future editors would of course be free to organise themselves entirely as they wish!
