letter
STEVEN GOLDSWORTHY
“Ding dong merrily on high
and good tidings to
all you wonderful
Fellowship members”
Ding dong merrily on high ... and good tidings to all you
wonderful Fellowship members who supported the
25th anniversary of the Fellowship Luncheon and Awards
on 7th December at the fabulous Dorchester Hotel.
For those who were not fortunate enough to get a ticket (a
complete sell out in under 2 hours), you will get a good insight
into, what has to be one of the most sought after tickets in the
hairdressing calendar!
Congratulations to all those Fellowship Award recipients – listed
within this magazine – all very well deserved –and to our worthy
F.A.M.E. Team 2010 – who will go from relative anonymity to
media gaga by this time next year.
Making its debut was the Fellowship for British Hairdressing
After-Party – held at nightclub Mahiki – the ‘event’ proved to be a
great success with the club bursting to the seams until the very
small hours – of this morning in fact!
The Fellowship Luncheon and Awards always heralds a very busy
time for us hairdressers... with many bemoaning the fact that they
won’t get a day off before Christmas. Celebrate this very fact in
what is supposed to be credit-crunch doom and take each day as
it comes – but ensure that you look after your own well-being at
this very busy time – so you are not horizontal at Christmas – but
relaxed and enjoying your limited ‘time-out’.
An enormous thank you to all my colleagues on the Council – as I
said at the Luncheon – have got absolutely no idea how I would
have got through the year without you!
Stevie G x
The Fellowship for British Hairdressing would like to thank all our Business Partners
for their invaluable support throughout 2009.

BBC YOUNG
HAIRDRESSER
OF THE YEAR
Our very own much-loved and
award-winning Fellowship Past
President Beverly C starred in
the BBC’s Young Hairdresser
of the Year programme,
on 30 November.
Beverly, past British Hairdresser
of the Year twice, was awarded
an MBE in 2008 was approached
by producers to judge the show
with fellow star stylist
Adee Phelan which was
presented by George Lamb.
Challenges to the contestants included a front cover shoot, creating an
iconic men’s cut, ‘the grilling’ (an interview from hell) and producing an
avant garde finale catwalk look.
“Making the programme was great fun. Very exciting for the contestants
and me! says Beverly. “It’s great to see hairdressing gaining high-profile
airtime on the BBC and the programme will hopefully encourage more
young people to come into the industry and inspire those who already are.”
Winner was Chris Appleton of George’s Hairdressing Leicester who
triumphed over hundreds of contenders in a nation-wide search
showcasing the very best of young talented professionals, culminating in a
final which the BBC described as ‘tougher than any day in the salon’.
Under the close scrutiny of the celebrity expert judges, Chris, along
with the four other finalists, which included Megan Zarrabi and Carly
Aplin (also past F.A.M.E. Team Members) undertook the series of tough
elimination rounds which tested skills, knowledge, ability and passion for
hairdressing to the max.
This competition has been an amazing journey,” says Chris, “every stage
meant a new challenge but I was determined to prove myself and impress
the judges each time. The other finalists were very tough competition, so
to win the final is such an incredible achievement, I’m really excited”.
Winning the title of ‘BBC Young Hairdresser of the Year’ has been the
‘crowning glory’ on a year which has seen Chris’s inspirational skill and
creativity placed firmly on a world stage. His work with the Fellowship
Academy of Merit and Excellence, known throughout the industry as
the F.A.M.E. Team, has seen him working the catwalk shows at events
such as London Fashion Week, photo shoots and key assignments
overseas including Australia.
Every stage meant a new
challenge but I was
determined to prove myself
and impress the judges

FABULOUS FINALE
TO A YEAR OF FELLOWSHIP EDUCATION
Colour Project Graduates: Amy Donaldson Profile Hair • Joshua Goldsworthy Goldsworthy’s • Jo Thompson The Hair Advice Centre
Areesha Shalton Shaltons • Sian Flatt Mova Hair • Georgia Tulley The Point • Claire Jardine Talking Heads (Lincoln) Ltd
The hard work, passion, dedication and talent behind a year of
prestige Fellowship education came to a glittering conclusion this
month, as students from both the Project X and The Colour
Project presented their Finale Show.
Friends, family, colleagues and industry names came together to see
the students present on stage at the L’Oréal Professionnel Academy.
Hosted by Fellowship Chancellor Mark Creed, the event showcased
both The Colour Project and the Project X students in appropriately
different ways.
First up were the six members of the Colour Project 2009 – at the
end of the first year for this groundbreaking course – who
demonstrated a colour technique they had learned from one of their
mentors during the year. Interviewed on stage by course leaders
Jo O’Neil and Tanya Hennessey, they talked through their inspirations,
their highlights and how they had created their look. The students had
the chance to reveal a model each that they had prepared earlier to
gasps and cheers from the crowd.
Next up were the Project X-ers. Now in the 5th year, Project X is fast
becoming a jewel in the crown of Fellowship education, and the
calibre of the students, the range of incredible mentor days they’ve
enjoyed and both the work they have produced – with increasing
confidence – was testament to that.
Interviewed by a very proud project leader, Robert Eaton, the twelve
students each talked the audience through a moodboard summing up
their amazing year and then presented a model that showcased the
very best of what they’d learned. All the students commented on what
an awesome journey it had been for them – not just in terms of
creativity and technical skills, but also how they’d grown in confidence
and loved the opportunity to work as a team.
The evening finished with an emotional – and unscripted – moment
where Project X-er Grace Mullany produced a book she’d created
telling the ‘fairy story’ of her amazing year.
All the students then came back to the stage to receive their
graduation certificates and have their photographs taken before
Mark Creed closed the event with an invitation for any hairdresser
of any age who wants to sign up for either Project X or The Colour
Project to get in touch with the Fellowship office!

CONSUMER INTERVIEW
WHEN STEVEN
In the first of a new series, President Steven Goldsworthy interviews
Michelle Tiernan, Editor of Your Hair, Hair Ideas and Blonde Hair.
SG What is your role Michelle?
MT I am the Editor of Your Hair, Hair Ideas and Blonde Hair. The
portfolio of magazines is extremely successful and Hair Ideas is the
UK's best-selling hair mag. I'm extremely proud of the magazines and
the team who work with me on them. We also have a fantastic
website, www.loveyourhair.com, which we recently relaunched.
SG Michelle, how did you come to be Editor of Your Hair?
MT Originally from Dublin, with a Degree in English and a Masters in
Publishing, my background has been mainly in Visual Arts Books. This
was a really creative role which I loved. The opportunity came up as
Editor of Your Hair, Hair Ideas, and Blonde Hair, and I jumped at the
chance. The pace of working on monthly publications and the quality
of the magazines really appealed to me, plus I love the subject
matter, and I love the fact that I can be very creative within my role.
SG Had you always had a keen interest in hair/hairdressing?
MT Yes. I think most women worry about, and want to have, better
hair! But I also admire hairdressers enormously and I'm always
astounded by the beautiful, stunning styles they create. I think it's a
great industry to be involved with.
SG The Fellowship magazine reaches hairdressers all over the
British Isles – what is the best advice that you can offer for their
work/their salon to be featured in one of your publications?
MT For a collection to appear in Your Hair or Hair Ideas, first and
foremost, the hair needs to be commercial – gorgeous styles that
women want. Then the pictures need to work well together. It's really
disappointing if only one or two models are used, as we want to give a
selection of lengths and shades to the readers. Obviously, great models
and clear, beautifully-shot photos which have been styled gorgeously,
will give salons a much better chance of obtaining one of our soughtafter
collection slots in the magazines. In Blonde Hair, we obviously
only use pictures of blonde hair (!) but the same rules apply -
inspirational hair, fantastic blonde shades, and strong cuts. To feature a
salon, we need a picture of a gorgeous salon, with details of where it’s
located, what it specialises in, and why you think it's great.
SG What are the criteria when sending in photographic work?
MT Pictures need to be sent in on CD, as high res (300 dpi) TIFF
or JPEG files. The whole team have a collections meeting each
month and go through all the collections which have been sent in.
We choose the best ones for each magazine. We need at least
4 good shots for a collection.
SG How do your editorial team decide what to focus
on each issue?
MT We have a detailed commissioning meeting each month.
In these meetings we take into account seasonal issues, for example,
party hair for Christmas, how put protect your hair from sun damage
etc in the summer months, and how to combat frizz...all the time!
We also constantly analyse the catwalks for the latest hair trends,
and look to the celebs and how they are interpreting those trends.
We give advice about colour from the experts, we cover how to get
great condition, we show the best salons, the latest must-have
products, reader makeovers, step-by-steps plus a wealth of common
problems and of course hundreds of hairstyles.
SG What do you think of the Fellowship for British Hairdressing?
MT I think it's a fantastic organisation which is invaluable for the
hairdressing industry. As well as helping established salons and stylists, I
love the help it gives to young people starting out in the industry.
Recently I was lucky enough to be a judge, at Salon International, of the
F.A.M.E Team, and the standard is incredible and the passion is amazing.
SG What stands out to you?
MT The dedication and hard work by the team, and the passion and
inspiration The Fellowship gives.
“I genuinely admire anyone in the industry who works
gorgeous hair and makes women or men feel good abo

MET MICHELLE
SG We publish the Annual Yearbook which includes the names and
addresses of all of our members – do you, will you use it to refer to?
MT Yes, I always have a copy to hand.
SG How many issues of your publication annually and where is it retailed?
MT We publish 12 issues of Your Hair and Hair Ideas, and 6 of Blonde Hair.
They can be bought from all of the big retailers such as WH Smith, Tesco,
Asda, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Boots, and thousands of independent shops.
SG How do you pick your cover shots?
MT We shoot our covers which different stylists each month.
We choose strong, inspirational cuts which women will want.
SG Do you commission photographic work?
MT We shoot sections in the magazine such as our
step-by-steps and our reader makeovers.
SG Whose work in the hairdressing industry do you admire?
MT I genuinely admire anyone in the industry who works hard,
produces gorgeous hair and makes women or men feel good
about their look. Obviously there are some incredible stylists
who are top of their game and have a wealth of experience
which they are now passing on to their staff. I love to see
stylists teaching their juniors and instilling their passion and
expertise in them.
SG Highlights in your Fellowship Calendar!
MT I would have to say the Fellowship shows at Salon
International, plus The Fellowship luncheon in December!

MARK
F E L L O W S H I P
HAYES
P O W E R N I G H T
A Journey of Creativity
Report Karine Jackson Photos & Video William Sparacia
Watching this fantastic power night truly
showed why Mark is a two-time winner
of Fellowship Hairdresser of the Year
The excitement was building as soon as we walked into the Sassoon
Academy - the pressure was on for Mark with expectations running
high, and rightly so, as the evening was amazing!
Mark opened with a DVD detailing his illustrious 33 year career at
Sassoon through the decades.
After an introduction by President Steven Goldsworthy, Mark
explained now he takes a lot of his inspirations from Yohji Yamamoto
and then commenced the live presentation with a spectacular stack
wind perm at the back of the model’s head, giving the hair amazing
texture. He cut the hair with such precession, as only Sassoon
directors are renowned for doing, that it was truly a pleasure to
watch. The hair cut was sleek and beautiful with shaped angles and
he finished the look by using his handmade wooden comb from
Mombasa to comb out the stack wind leaving a perfect angle at the
nape. Mark introduced the concept of ‘sandwich’ colour – one
colour literally sandwiched between another – and used a strong
deep violet brown with an amazing panel of orange/red sandwiched
in between, with the warm and cool colours clashing perfectly.
Taking further inspiration from the Claude Cahun art movement
(1910 -1940), out came 6 amazing models in vibrant red, yellow and
blue suits. The cuts were sharp but soft at the same time with under
cuts and long soft fringes.
Edward Darley, UK colour director for Sassoon, talked us through
the colours using the terms ‘sandwich of colour panel’ with violets
and blues on cool blondes.
We enjoyed a great insight into Mark’s journey from sitting in the
barbers talking about football heroes and realising he was not going
to make the Spurs team to how he became an assistant, to working
his way to international creative director at Sassoon’s.
He named one of his influential heroes as David Bowie and this was
still in evidence in his work last night. Mark’s next cut was all about
technique: the back was perfectly done scissor-over-comb - Mark cut
the front from long to short, and the side from short to long, nothing
connecting but altogether looking perfectly connected…
Mark’s admiration and support for The Fellowship was evident
throughout his presentation and watching this fantastic power night
truly showed why Mark is a two-time winner of Fellowship
Hairdresser of the year.
After completing his final look we were treated to a spectacular finale
with all the models coming out in black puff dresses, over-sized
eyebrows and amazing coloured suits. The show was full of contrast:
angles, slightly off-centre partings, softness, hard lines, style and
confidence. The atmosphere in the room was so intense with all
eyes watching the show unfold.
I’m sure everyone in the room would agree The Fellowship has
provided another platform to see amazing hair and Mark and the
Sassoon team really excelled themselves.

TRADE INTERVIEW
WHEN STEVEN
Our President Steven Goldsworthy recently got down to business with
Hairdressers Journal’s Deputy Editor – Ruth Hunsley
SG Hi Ruth can you explain your role to readers?
RH I’m the deputy editor of HJ, the industry’s weekly magazine. I
plan and oversee the editorial content with our team and represent
the magazine at numerous events. Facts: HJ started on 6 May 1882
and was called Hairdressers Weekly Journal. We run the most
prestigious awards in the industry, HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards
and British Hairdressing Business Awards and the biggest exhibition in
the UK, Salon International.
SG How did you come to be deputy editor of Hairdressers
Journal?
RH I started as a junior feature writer 14 years ago and have since
been features editor, news and features editor and am now deputy
editor, so I have a full understanding of exactly what our readers want
and need in all areas of the magazine.
SG Had you always had a keen interest in hair/hairdressing?
RH I have always been interested in hair – I cut my Girl’s World
when I was young! But it wasn’t until I started work on HJ that I fully
appreciated hairdressing - what you can do and the great career it
can offer. I love watching live shows and seeing the latest trends and
techniques. I always go home thinking I can recreate what I have
seen as you guys make it look so easy – but of course I can’t!
SG The Fellowship magazine reaches hairdressers all over the
British Isles – what is the best advice that you can offer for their
work/their salon to be featured in one of your publications?
RH The best thing any hairdresser can do is make sure you put your
contact details on anything you send us! It’s amazing how many people
will send something in with no contact name or details so we can’t get
more information. As journalists we always ask who, what, where, why
and how in every story, so press releases should try to answer these
basic questions. Hairdressers are very visual people and it’s always
good to send in a picture with your press release as well.
SG What are the criteria when sending in photographic work?
RH The most important approach any hairdresser can take is to
ensure that their name and salon name is on the disc as well as the
covering letter – we receive a huge amount of fashion collections
every week from around the world and it’s inevitable that sometimes
things get separated. Images should be high res, 300dpi as JPEG or
TIFF. Image wise, backgrounds should be clean and fuss-free. Unless
a full page is guaranteed, a messy background will detract from the
hair – and that should be the main focus. We publish a selection of
commercial, creative, Afro and men’s hairdressing images both full
length and headshots. Our fashion pages are one of the most
important parts of the magazine and we will only publish images that
haven’t been published anywhere else. As our readers are the
hairdressing experts, it is essential they see them first in the leading
trade magazine before their clients see them elsewhere.
SG How do your editorial team decide what to focus
on each issue?
RH Although we are weekly, we plan our editorial monthly as we
are often working on more than one issue at a time. Our readers
range from juniors through to salon owners, educators and session
stylists so we ensure there is something for everyone. For example,
our business section is aimed at those making decisions and will
include legal and expert advice as well as success stories of salons
around the world. Our features range from product-related stories to
the latest trends, through to an insight into the minds of the world’s
greatest stylists. There is so much going on in the hairdressing
industry it can be hard to choose what we will feature, but we aim to
include stories we believe will inspire hairdressers everywhere. Our
philosophy is that HJ inspires today’s hairdresser and everything we
write has to meet that expectation. If we aren’t inspired when we are
writing it, chances are our readers won’t be inspired when they are
reading it.
SG What do you think of the Fellowship for British Hairdressing?
RH The Fellowship for British Hairdressing gives salons a great platform
to showcase their latest collections and techniques in a live
environment. As well as seeing the biggest names in hairdressing
perform on stage, there is also an opportunity for smaller salons to take
to the stage too, which can be a great motivator for salon teams.
SG What stands out to you?
RH There really is no other industry like hairdressing and the one
thing that stands out to me is the camaraderie between hairdressers.
Whether it is assisting at shows, sharing the latest techniques or
offering advice and help, hairdressers are generous with both their
time and their money. You only have to attend a show like Salon
International to see top name hairdressers talking to youngsters and
offering advice. No one works harder, or are more dedicated than
hairdressers and that is infectious.

NOVEMBER 2009
MET RUTH
SG We publish the Annual Yearbook which includes the
names and addresses of all of our members – do you, will
you use it to refer to?
RH There are many experts in hairdressing both creatively
and in business, so it’s great to have names and contact details
of salons everywhere. Magazines can often quote Londonbased
hairdressers but we ensure we include hairdressers from
around the UK.
SG How many issues of your publication annually
and where is it retailed?
RH We publish 50 issues a year, every Friday. There are several
ways you can get your HJ – either by subscription or through
larger newsagents.
SG How do you pick your cover shots?
RH For a front cover there should be eye contact, a plain
background and clean make-up. Hair should be well finished
– no frizz or split ends please! Also think about seasons –
black clothes and heavy eye make-up isn’t going to work
in the middle of the summer. We have a mixture of
commercial, creative, men and Afro throughout the
year to represent the diversity of the market. Our
covers give an insight into what else will be in the
issue, so it has to be eye-catching, inspiring and
exciting.
SG Whose work in the hairdressing
industry do you admire?
RH It’s hard to say one person as there are
so many fantastic people in the industry who I
admire for different reasons. I admire anyone
who pushes the boundaries in the imagery they
create and I love it when I receive a collection
which amazes me. I admire anyone who can
create beautiful curls as so many hairdressers are
scared of them. I love creative work but I also love
people who make women look feminine and
beautiful. Who doesn’t want to look like that!!
SG Highlights in your Fellowship Calendar!
RH Our editorial team attend so many events it’s great when
people come up to us and say hello.
“I love creative
work but I also
love people who
make women
look feminine
and beautiful”

FELLOWSHIP L
AND AWARDS
Report Peter Goldsworthy
This hugely popular event was completely sold out within 2
hours of the tickets going on sale at the pre-announced time,
even though luncheon organiser Chancellor Mark Creed had
decided on a smaller stage set so that more tables to be
installed to allow more of our members to attend.
Many folk arrived early to enjoy coffee and a chat before going into The
Crush Bar which once again lived up to its name as members enjoyed a
pre-lunch glass of champagne.
Onto the dining room where a glittering setting welcomed us with
sparkling glasses and cutlery set off by black tablecloths and chairs with
silver ribbons for this, the 25th year of the Luncheon and Awards. At
each guests place was the new Fellowship year book, the new style
booklet of all members details and a silver coloured card holder which
will be so useful when swopping business cards with like minded folk.
The formal proceedings presented by hairdressing’s very own ‘Ant &
Dec’ namely Chancellor Mark Creed and President Steven Goldsworthy
were as always, greatly appreciated by all, for do remember, this is
probably the only Award Ceremony in the hairdressing world where
hairdressers themselves actually choose to reward other hairdressers for
their professional achievements in the true spirit of Fellowship.
Chairman Frank Shipton too was on exceedingly good form and in his
address gave a potted history of the growth of The Fellowship since its
inception in 1946 and of the luncheon since its creation by former
Chancellor Mike Sherwood in 1984.
Grace by Fellowship Patron of Honour Ann Herman was preceded by a
short visit down Ann’s own memory lane of The Fellowship’s
achievements after which the superb lunch complete with wine was
enjoyed by all the 490 guests.
Another unexpected highlight was the video presentation of Senior Vice
President Terry Calvert from his hospital bed that started with everyone
feeling so sad that he was too poorly to join us and finishing with an
ending only Terry could have thought of, leaving everyone in the room
laughing uproariously. So funny!! (It was great to see you at Council this
week in such great form Terry, we wish you a healthy 2010)

ALL THE LATEST FELLOWSHIP NEWS AND SNIPPETS...
Seanhanna Charity Hair Raiser
Errol Douglas stylist Emily Hart is following in a long line of award
winners and nominees with the award of the prestigious Young
Hairdresser of the Year award, presented at the Clothes Show Live
in Birmingham.
Emily, a member of the salon art team and regular on TV and event
session work for the likes of Jimmy Choo, was short listed for Junior
of the Year in 2006; Errol himself rose through the ranks after being
hugely successful as a young hairdresser in the likes of the F.A.M.E.
Team, while Art Director Jamie Stevens, now resident hairdresser on
Channel 4’s How To Look Good Naked, was also a finalist for the
Young Hairdresser award 2 years ago. Emily recreated her gorgeous
image on the catwalk for the grand final. Says Errol, “I’m really proud
of Emily – she’s a hugely talented young hairdresser who’s set to go far.”
Tina Pink let her hair grow for six months without a snip, trim or tidy
up. (how dreadful – Editor!)
Tina and Tracey Pink are both keen fund raisers and thought this up
to raise money for Macmillan’s Nurses and Wigs for Kids, a charity
that supplies wigs to children who have been affected by hair loss
through illness or stress.
Seanhanna were given the task creating her hair into a stylish look
with stylists Tasha Feal, Katie Luxton and Sandra Kenten all involved
Tina was pleased with her end result and attended a Rosemary
Conley Rainbow Ball gala dinner where she and Tracey continued to
fundraise. In total they raised a massive £1,460.00 for the charities.
An amazing achievement!
Ramsay and Johnson for
“Hug in a Bag” Charity
The Ramsay and Johnson staff were requested by the founders of
local cancer charity, HUG (Help, Understanding and Glamour) in a
Bag to entertain the 400 strong sell out crowd at their glittering
annual charity ball with an eighties inspired hair and fashion show
which in all raised £5000! The money raised was for the devoted
Macmillan nurses at Sunderland hospital, so their dedication in caring
for cancer patients may continue.
Children in Need
Well Done to all our members for supporting Children in Need this
year in Fancy dress etc, you made many folk smile and have a better
day and raised considerable amounts of cash too – next year why not
send in your teams pictures for a special Fellowship feature.
Young Hairdresser of the
Year at Clothes Show Live!
“We love the concept of HUG in a Bag, a bag filled with feel-good items
to cheer up the cancer patients and we’re delighted to have been able
to donate our bespoke wigs to the cause. HUG in a Bag was formed by
three very brave women who’ve undergone reconstructive surgery at our
local hospital who quickly formed a firm and lasting friendship to set up
a self support group for other cancer sufferers” says Neville Ramsay.
Jo Hansford Charity Support
The team at London salon Jo Hansford raised a fabulous £850 to
support the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund during Pancreatic
Cancer Awareness Week in November. The PCRF is the only
national charity exclusively funding research into pancreatic cancer
throughout the UK.

Jo’s husband and business
partner (father of managing
director, Joanna) died of the
disease eight years ago; so it’s
a charity extremely close to
the hearts of the team at Jo
Hansford. The cancer also hit
the headlines recently when
actor Patrick Swayze lost his
fight with this disease.
“I was so touched by the
generosity of both the clients
and the team” says Jo, “It’s
great to see everyone pulling
together for a great cause.”
Editors note let us have details of your charity support for
we know how generous you all are.

FRANK SHIPTON - CHAIRMAN
Firstly may I thank all of you who attended the
Fellows Luncheon and Awards for making it such
a special one this year. Congratulations too,
to our newly crowned, and most deserving,
Fellowship Hairdresser of the Year, Tim Hartley,
and all the other recipients honoured on that
fantastic day in that gorgeous room at the
Dorchester Hotel.
For those of you who were unable to attend may I re-iterate my
thanks to Mark Creed, the Chancellor, for all his hard work in making
the whole event so successful, with grateful thanks to Gareth and his
team at the Dorchester, D & A Films, and to Simon and Megan at
Decisive Media for all their work on the staging etc..
This past year has seen some wonderful hairdressing at our events.
From regional workshops through Masterclasses! to Salon
International you, the members, have provided so much inspiration
to so many. So thank you all for your amazing contribution to
The Fellowship, and to British hairdressing in general.
Of course none of this would have taken place without the foresight
of the Events Committee, Chaired by Peter Goldsworthy, and with
the honest endeavour of our Show Co-ordinator, Ann Herman.
Next year will see even more exciting events, as you will see from
our calendar, and I suggest that you book your places early to avoid
disappointment. If you lose your calendar then all the up to date
information will be found on our website www.fellowshiphair.com
which should see expansion in 2010. Showcase your collections
there for the membership to see. Just send a disc of high resolution
jpeg’s with full credits to the office and we will let the world see how
good you are.
Lastly, may I thank all of you that have helped The Fellowship in
anyway possible for all your hard work and enthusiasm. True
‘Strength through Quality’, and wish all of you a very Happy
Christmas and a very prosperous New Year.”
