I’m signing off now as the Press Office will be closed until early in the New Year. This is partly as there will be little activity to report on in December and also because the ‘Reporter’ is having a knee replacement operation so will have other priorities for a little while.

So thank you to all those who have sent me the various reports throughout the year and may I wish all Mendip members and the readers of the various publications that receive this report, a Very Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy 2025.
