The Chairman’s Dispatch

Issue number: 04 – June 2002 (KA 04)

It is a very great pleasure to welcome this first Club edition of The Kedge Anchor. I say “Club edition” because, as North American members will know, the Kedge Anchor has already had a number of most successful editions on the other side of the Atlantic!

The brainchild, and very largely the personal creation, of our North American secretary Randy Mafit, it has already enjoyed considerable success among our North American members and was originally introduced as a “special” for them. However, Randy has very kindly been sending copies of the Anchor to all the members of Council. So when, late last year, our Newsletter Editor Michael Dalton was forced to retire, the Council unanimously decided to ask Randy if he would be prepared to allow the Anchor to transform itself into a newsletter for the whole Club. This, Randy has very kindly agreed to do – and the result is before you.
