It is my pleasure to join with the Conference organising committee in inviting you to attend our Society’s Diamond Jubilee Meeting. As well as the excellent academic programme, there will be ample opportunity to meet informally and enhance the collegiality which is so important to our lives as practising surgeons.

Naturally this invitation is warmly extended to our international colleagues in Australia and other countries. A full partners’ programme is being developed from amongst Queenstown’s diversions, and some partners may be interested in attending the Conference sessions on private practice.

I look forward to seeing you in Queenstown in the spring.
