Thank you, Mr Keatch

gordon keatch 2014 headshotOne of our favourite people, Gordon Keatch, has decided to put down his pen as our intrepid “getting to know” columnist. And since he did so in a most official and gentlemanly way, we decided to share his letter of “resignation” for everyone to see (click below). Thanks, Gordon, for telling the stories of 150 or more members over the years and helping us really get to know each other. Cheers, mate!

Gordon’s letter 2014

PS If anyone is interested in taking up the pen and keeping the column going, we’d love to hear from you.
