out 6 years, hoping that a person would volunteer to take on this very
exacting role - literally jumped into the deep end early in February
and (with a little assistance) produced a very creditable issue, only
to find that she had so much material left to publish - including all
the AGM reports etc - with very little time to prepare it all. It is
regrettable, although not altogether unexpected, that a mistake in
some form would occur as a result of the shortage of time and Sarah's
inexperience as an editor. Please accept our sincere apologies for
this error.
There is very little we can do to correct this error in time for the
AGM except that the eMag versions have now been corrected (which has
delayed their despatching to those members who have opted to take
their Magazine in this format). Extra copies of these documents will
be made available at the AGM for those wishing to peruse them before
the meeting.
I am not surprised that it was the previous Treasurer (John Taylor)
who spotted this error but I need to point out that without Dilwyn
seeing John's observation and bringing it to my direct attention that
I became aware of the error. The QUANTA Magazine is generally
proof-read by a number of people before printing (including All the
Dilwyns) but on this occasion the shortage of time and other
commitments of the others prevented this from happening.
There is more of an issue here - as one of the resolutions will be to
approve the accounts, the balance sheet HAS to be circulated to members
before the AGM - it will need to be posted unfortunately, to those
members who normally receive a postal copy of the magazine - otherwise
their proxy votes could not count on approval of the accounts, as they
will have voted to approve something they have not seen.
