23 December 2016
As the Christmas weekend is nearly with us, we would like to thank our many supporters for all your encouragement during 2016.
Message from our Chair, Dame Janet Suzman, DBE
To all our warm wishes for a Festive season. This year has brought many challenges to us all - with the next one promising all sorts of surprises. But at least we are joined in like-mindedness on our mission. A small but beautifully formed mission, if I may say so, in its essential contrast to a world that has lost any sense of what remains important. Have a peaceful festive season wherever you might be.
And from BCRPM's Vice Chair, Professor Cartledge
Best season's greetings, happy holidays to you all and warmest wishes for 2017 - which post-Brexit, post-Trump and post-Truth must be better than 2016!
