BREAKING NEWS TODAY 17th DECEMBER 

It was reported this week on Wednesday the 15th December the sad and sudden passing of the only remaining founder member of the MLA Tony Clare. A much respected and loved member of the locksmithing community, Tony was instrumental in many of the MLA's different changes in direction and was always willing to help a novice Chairman such as myself find their feet. I could not have managed without his wisdom, the changing of my letters to be tactful and the odd blow in the ear if I was out of line. 

Rest in Peace old friend. 

Mick Friend.

This is the final issue of the year for Locks and Security News. We will be back in January 2011 although of course any major breaking news will be displayed on the web site. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our supporters over this past year which saw the launch not only of Locks and Security News, but also Locks & Security Monthly, the Professional Locksmiths Forum, and of course the Locksmiths' Exhibition coming in March 2011 (for the latest update see below). We wish both supporters and readers a great festive season, and here's hoping 2011 is a good year for us all. Finally, in the words of the late comedian Dave Allen, "May your God go with you."

The November issue of sister publication Locks & Security Monthly has been out for a few weeks now and we think you'll agree that the high standards we set ourselves back in September have been successfully maintained. We hope that you continue to enjoy reading it. Until our next issue is out in January 2011 here's the opportunity for overseas readers to catch up.
