Our virtual Festival has brought new challenges and required a different approach. Before the physical event was cancelled,
much work had gone into the planning of the Festival – the first meeting is always a few days after the previous Festival
ends. For both the original planning and the organisation of the virtual event, I would like to thank the following:
Greg Dexter and the team at the Radlett Theatre
Rob Williams of Head Office for his expertise in preparing the layout for the brochure and the certificates
Dale Freeman, COO of NODA, for his help and guidance
And finally the Events Steering Committee of Annie Hertler-Smith, Pam Armstrong, Paul Holgate and Jackie Lack.
Of course, this Festival is just the culmination of our year. I would like to thank the special team who make NODA London
run so smoothly across the whole of the year; that is of course, the excellent NODA London Regional Committee, the
officers and your Regional Representatives. I would also like to thank their partners and families, for letting me steal their
valuable time.
As you all know, I am regretfully stepping back from being London Councillor in September 2020. I wish my successor,
Pam Armstrong every success. She will have my full support.
Finally, my own special thanks to Karen, Katie and Charlotte, who often don’t see me as much as they should. Come
September, they may change their minds!!
