Dr Alex Andrew stands down as Director-General

An appreciation of Dr Andrew’s valued contribution to WOSC over many years will appear in later issues of this volume. He has, however, indicated that he will continue as a Director of the organisation and his continued support will be welcomed by all who have recognised his dedicated service.
