Sergio Muscat is also being given various backroom tasks and has also managed to relieve me of a good chunk of administration work. We have also during the past year been trying to diversify and re-study the way we work and this, undoubtedly, causes a bit of upheaval and a necessary trial period which might not go down well with everyone. I run the MIPP as I run my own business – I try to study what is needed and try to adapt with the needs and requirements of the time, and again, this can initially be a bit of a bumpy ride. I would like to ask you to have some patience while we are undergoing this process. I will hopefully be ready from my Masters by early February 2014, so hopefully I will again be able to give my 200 per cent for the MIPP. My appeal to ALL our members is to try and bear with me and the committee in a period which will not be easy, but which will eventually lead the MIPP and its members to higher levels. These are a few things which I would like all to sincerely keep in mind so as to help us to reach these levels: 1. Give us your feedback on anything which you think can help us better our services. 2. Offer your help, if you can. 3. Maintain your membership and get the utmost from it by attending our events and meetings. Nothing will encourage us more. 4. If you think we deserve criticism, by all means, criticize. 5. Give us material and images for the Newsletter. 6. Get others interested in joining up. 7. Try and appreciate the unselfish work that every Committee member puts in – most of it is not so obvious to the members. If each one of you can sincerely do this, I am sure we will be flying high come 2014!
