However the support from Andy, the PCC, and all you amazing and supportive people has helped me to deal with this. As many of youwill know. l also have had issueswith my eyesthis year. This meant that I found some of the"normal' treasurerjobs harderand I'm particularly grateful for all who helped out more than ever.

Finally, I'd also like to t8ke this opportunityto further express mythanks toAnn, who has decided that this is nowthe righttime to step downfrom hei 1018 as Assi>tantTreaskn'rer.
