They say there’s no fool like an old fool so as a member of the first UKIC Stained Glass Section Committee I definitely qualify as the latter. As a former chair and treasurer of the group I hope my experience can be put to good use and that my foolishness will provide much needed humorous relief. May the force be with you all.
