I couldn't make it myself, but it wasn't the weather.  It reminds me of the
old addage concerning the best laid plans of mice and men.

Hi all,

As most of you are probably aware, the VICS AGM for 2009 took place last

On behalf of the entire committee I'd like to thank everyone who elected
us, we'll do our best over the next year to ensure that VICS continues to
