THE MASTERS
Much has happened over the last months and we are continuing to develop the Company for the 21st century. This news letter is an example.
Over the coming months we aim to develop a web site, providing full information
on the Company as well as a bulletin board and hopefully, this newsletter also produced electronically.
To continue with our development and to improve our communications we also
plan to have a formal e- mail address so that contact with the clerk can be easier.
I hope to advise members of some of the issues facing us and inform you how we intend to deal with them.
