The news is announced
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 at 4:26PM It's been an exhausting but exhilarating day in many ways. Chairing a meeting with 800 in the audience isn't a piece of cake, but when one has news up one's sleeve, the day whizzes by in a blink. Quite how we kept it quiet until "the moment" is amazing, especially since we had TV cameras from BBC, ITV, radio and news reporters there most of the day, who I felt sure would spill the beans by allowing themselves to be overheard.
But we did it. We are thrilled, as were the audience, who broke into spontaneous applause. Having kept this secret since last June, I was pleased, at last, to share it!

Congratulations Gill, though I doubt if the likes of us will be good enough for you now that you are hobnobbing with Royalty(smile)
Are you going to ask her to join AD? I'm sure she'd enjoy it as much as we do. How could you keep it secret all that time?
oh great idea mags - she would love dodgers ............a real safe place to unload!
