Thanks Avri, you have done a fantastic job in the election processes. Congratulations to the other candidates and Robin as the new Chair. Thanks also to: - all of the candidates for running and therefore making the election a democratic choice for members - to former councillors who have all worked hard during their terms, regardless of agreement or disagreement on specific issues I'm looking forward to the opportunity to serve NCSG membership and thank them for putting their trust in me.
