If you are new to the site, and not yet a member of the IOBA, may I on behalf of all the existing members, extend a very warm welcome to you. We hope, as a result of your visit here, that you will be encouraged to join our growing organisation and bring with you memories to share with others. You will see from our increasingly growing data base, that we have members stretching back many decades so I am confident that you will find lost friends with whom to reminisce. For those existing members visiting the site, welcome back and I hope that you will find the look of the new site pleasing. Our new Newsletter Editor, Owen Sutton volunteered to take on the redesign and I'm sure you will agree that he has done a splendid job in raising it's standard. I look forward to meeting many of you again at next year's annual reunion at the school, and for those who have not attended before, I encourage you to do so. It is a great opportunity to meet up with old friends and share a story or two over a tot!
