Although this is the last ICE of 2012, I am writing this in February 2013. We are a little late in producing it. I would like to report that the final count of IGS members in 2012 culminated at 958. And at the time of writing this we have 743 members paid up for 2013. We are confident we will break the 1000 mark this year. But we need your help - please get your friends and colleagues to renew/ join. The membership rate is the same as 2012. So let's all make 2013 an even better year for the IGS.
