We are very sorry that Brian Howes, the founding editor of the magazine fifteen years ago, has resigned owing to ill health. We are very anxious to maintain IN TOUCH to the very high standards that Brian has achieved over these many years. The next issue of IN TOUCH will be published early in January with an acting editor but we are seeking a new editor and invite anybody who aspires to the task to please call Leon Menzies on 020 8559 1617. Please remember we need articles and letters for the next issue which should be with us by the 15th December.
