Chief Executive's MessageSo apparently it is now Summer here in the UK and we should be basking in sunshine. I am not sure about you, but I think I missed its arrival, but hey we are famed for our weather after all! Despite this deluge of awful weather, Pride season is very much underway and it has been great to see the reports of how they have gone. |
