It is with pleasure I make these introductory remarks. ASC has grown at an exciting pace over the last few years. lt has grown in a way that has surprised its neighbours and onl ookers and has almost kept its participant community out of breath. This momentum is captivating and in ome ways awesome. What "CQ" is trying to do is to give both the participants and 1he outsiders a chance to look at the achievements of the College and also to consider its future plans. CQ will seek to advertise to students and to the supporters of the College some oft he current achievements of ASC. lt will outline future plans and changes that arc already taking place within the College. T he fact that there are so many interest gro ups associated with I he College indicates the growing complex ity of our organisation.
