The Chairman's Letter:
Mima Hillier
Outgoing Chairman
Dear Members,
This will be my last note as Chair of the ARP as I hand over the reigns to Barry Potter, of IRM. But before I go, it is my pleasure to introduce to you the new version of the ARP newsletter - Point-2-Point. The newsletter is there to provide the members with current information about legislative changes, inside information about the relocation industry, views from our members, and new regular features. If you have anything you would like to contribute, please email Dom Tidey. As always, the editorial team Dom Tidey and Stuart Mitchell have done a fantastic job with re-branding and editing the newsletter.

ARP Events Report:
The Open Forum
We held our first Open Forum recently, at TASIS in Surrey. Apart from being a great opportunity to get together for a wonderful lunch (for which we are extremely grateful to TASIS) it was also an important start on the discussions we need to have with our members to ensure they are getting what they need out of the ARP. We learned alot, and you are reading one of the products of those discussions, the first edition of PointToPoint.

Musings on Relocation, Volume One:
By "Grey Thatch"
ARP Correspondent
I have been persuaded (but not paid!) by Tad & Dom to contribute to this brand new, all singing and dancing, sparkling and bubbly "Point to Point" newsletter via my personal musings about our wonderful world of relocation. But mindful of what a PR consultant once told me, "your voice lends itself to short speeches", I'm going to assume my musings too will need to be brief too.
