From your new President

摘要

My membership of the BAA goes back to 1974 when I joined the Association as a schoolboy, having had my interest in astronomy and space whetted by the Apollo missions and encouraged by the gift of a 60mm refractor from my Mum and Dad. Little did I suspect then that one day I would become the President of your Association. And for this I must thank you, the members, for electing me. I will do all in my power to ensure that the BAA remains Britain's pre-eminent amateur society and provides the services that you need.
