Editor's Note
A final hello from your 'old' editor. This is my last newsletter, although I will be doing some adhoc work as a webmaster. I hope you enjoyed your 2005 newsletters. Well, I've been working too hard. I'm off to Thailand for a break. Sawasdee Khrup!

Presidential Greetings.......
Welcome to Long Yang
Canberra 2006. It's a great honour to be elected as
the new President.
2005 was a busy year for LYC. We have seen membership increased to it's
highest yet and we are aiming to continue even higher, so, renew your
membership now. As the new President, I wish to encourage everyone to be
more active and participate in any way you can. Your new idea could be
the
next event in the calendar. The committee is waiting for your bright
ideas.
Finally, expect more fun, laughter and noises in the months to come.
Boys
and girls, it's party time.
Rolly Obungen
LYC President
