Happy Birthday Fellow Practitioner!  Wal, you have done the most amazing job with the weekly newsletter - it is something that you personally should be very proud of.  It's pulled together a lot of our industry and given a voice to many plumbers, gasfitters and drainlayers out there.  I know it is read by those in this industry far and wide, and many a "suit" in Wellington to I believe.  It probably graces many smoko room walls as well.  Keep up the good work - Friday's wouldn't be the same without the Fellow Practitioner on email!! 

Who would have believed how much ground could have been gained in a year.  Still lots of work to do and lots of members to recruit, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to stop and smell the roses.!
