First Class Local Contacts

Due to poor health, I have submitted my resignation as local contact for the Gold Coast. Our local team was informed of this intention six weeks ago. During that time we have rearranged some of the other aspects of participation to ensure minimum disruption during the changes.

Presently the position is being given consideration by another person who will give a final decision in a week's time. In the interim please continue to forward all messages to this conference box still care of me, and I will ensure all items are communicated/acted upon by our team.

I have thoroughly valued and enjoyed being in this role and have appreciated the myriad of opportunities to participate, witness and learn that have arisen.

Kind regards,

A.
