Merry Christmas 2011
I'm sitting here and reading stuff from you mob on the 'Net'
Somehow you all are known to me (and yes, there's some I've met)
I feel your aspirations, read your hopes and trials and falls;
and know your journeys, like my own, will weather many squalls.
The Festive Season that we're in makes me reflect again.
So, my melancholy mood dictates that I take up the pen -
and wish us all a heartfelt Peace and hope that we recall
the object of this Season "Peace on Earth, Goodwill to ALL!"
Merry Christmas to ALL ...

Thanks for your interest and dedication and best wishes Manfred, and I think there is one thing all will agree with me ( makes a nice change ), you have done a fantastic job as APBA President for the last two years.
