How can we not firstly acknowledge what a difficult year this has been for us all, naturally, COVID-19 being a pandemic, it has impacted on the lives of all our audience wherever they are in the World. For this reason, we are especially grateful and thankful that you have continued to support us and indeed contributed, notwithstanding the difficulties. Whilst our regular supply of comparative shots has been much less that in previous years we are very appreciative of all of those who have thought of us when taking their exercise, been out on business or made a special visit when rules permitted. Each year we remark on how our audience has grown but this year, no doubt as a result of lock-downs and an opportunity to watch TV, or re-run our favourite films we have seen an amazing surge. A 73% increase in our audience and activity more than doubling. It does go some way to explain why our response times to you are not quite as speedy as they once were.
We are forever appreciative of the contribution that you make, be it “now” shots, location identification, background information or kind words of support. Again, we must repeat, that we are what we are because of you. THANK YOU!
This is a very different holiday season for many of us, with, as yet, a very uncertain year ahead but we nevertheless send each and every one of you our warmest wishes, and particularly relevant this year, good health and happiness for 2021. Stay safe!
John, Simon, Phil and Richard
