Many of the Organisers of Friends´activities are taking a well earned break in July and August. Many thanks for the hard work in our first complete season of activities. I particularly would like to thank many of those people without whose voluntary work many of the events in the Museum could not take place: Cliff and Penny Newton, Inge Varrow, Margaret Bartlett , June Lindley and Kathy Bayley. There are many other people who have willingly given of their time and expertise - thank you. I wish to thank also those people who run activities without charging for their time and talent: Eveline Sakkers, Walter Sulzer, Helga Hampton, Naz Karim, Claire Larsen, Peter Booker, Jeannette Kempson, Ann Davies, Anneke Verschoor, Maria São José Horta, Marie and Adrian Mombers, Mark Harman. I would also like to take the opportunity of welcoming David and Dinah Littlewood to the Friends´Management Team. David will be events manager for some of the larger events and Dinah has taken over as Membership Secretary and Librarian. I wish everyone a restful summer!

Desejo a todos um Verão tranquilo!
