Happy New Year!  We hope you had a relaxing Christmas and that the New Year brings good guidance to all your ventures and endeavours.  We are looking forward to another good year for The Foundation and in particular we are excited about holding our First Annual Dinner Night and hope that as many of you as possible will be able to attend (see below for more details).

Leadership Encounter - Tues 7 Feb.  We have a fantastic start to our Leadership Encounter programme this year - Nikki Heath a leading Psychologist is coming to speak to our members on Tues 7 Feb on 'Military Leadership from the Psychologist's Chair'. Please click >>here  for more details.  Please click >>here to attend.  We do hope you will be able to come as they really are enjoyable evenings.

The Journal - I hope that you have all received your copy of the Journal.  Due to a printing delay it became a massive task to try and get out 2,000 copies before Christmas - but I do hope that most of you received your copy to enjoy over the holiday period.  We have had some excellent responses from Members who have thoroughly enjoyed reading this latest edition.  If anyone else has any views or comments please do let The Foundation know.  If you have not received your copy - please could you email zoe.kerner@sandhurstfoundation.org  your postal address so she can ensure that we have the correct one.

A little more patience is required on the wait for the ability to sign up guests on the event forms - the IT company say it will be up and running by February.  This will make the signing in of guests very easy - sorry for the delay!
