Dear Colleagues
EDITOR’s NOTE
I feel that the year has just flown by this year; I am not sure
how you all feel? I hope that we all have a great time with
friends and family for the Christmas period. I thank you all
for your support for the year and hope to see you all at the
conference in March 2018.
