<div><font face="tahoma">First, a big welcome via this list too, to <strong>Elizabeth Stokoe</strong> who was elected

Ann Weatherall. Our thanks go to past and current editors for all their work towards making the journal grow and be such an important forum in our field.

<div>We have also had elections in the past month for new Ordinary members of the IGALA Advisory Council and one Graduate Student Representative member. Thank you to all those members who have run as candidates and who have voted. I'm pleased to announce that
