December 2012 News

There is a definite end of term feel in the air, the holiday season is upon us again and it is time to wind down and take a well-earned break from the daily stresses of e-mail and the workplace. For SA Instrumentation and Control, 2012 seems to have flashed by and we can hardly believe that it is December again. This is the time of year we all look forward to: a holiday full of quality time spent with friends and family reconnecting with the things that are really important.

On behalf of the team, I would like to extend sincere thanks to our readers for another year of loyalty and support, without you there would be no reason for the publication. Also, we would like to thank the advertisers and contributors for all the interesting and leading-edge material that was submitted for publication, this is what makes our magazine the market leader that it is. And last but not least, thanks to the production team and technical support for their dedication and hard work – you are the people who make this endeavour look so good in print and on the Web.

In closure for this year, to everyone who is heading for the beaches or the hills, the ski slopes or the night spots, or if you are just spending some restful time at home, all the very best to you and your families for the holiday season. Be safe, enjoy and come back rested, invigorated and ready to face the challenges that the first semester of 2013 will no doubt bring with it.
