I am commencing my second year as editor & our past Editor, Phil Clayton, is starting his first year as Chairman! I've given a new look to the cover of BP in his honour. I'm sure you will join me in wishing him all the very best for an interesting & fulfilling experience.
Where has the time gone? I've had a great deal to put in Boundary Post this time and have found myself juggling items and saving some for next time, including Part 4 of Phil's series on Junctions - so if you think there is something else missing look for it in edition 172. An enormous amount has been published in the press over the past few months relating to the canals. From great developments to a Bishop riding out of the city "in a barge", to sightings of strange non indiginous species in the canal. Some of these items appear here in a reduced form but if you want details as reported in the papers let me know.
