The CWSC, who shows no sign of the stresses and strains of 11 years in the chair

Many happy returns of the day to the Chair of the Wines & Spirits Committee, who is 36 today. Unlike Vice Chairman, the CWSC shows no visible signs of age, and is, properly considered, in her prime as I’m sure you will agree this photograph shows. The pirate trousers are an acquired taste, perhaps, but I’m sure you will agree it’s what you’ve got on top that counts. Or so the VC tells me, anyway. Happy birthday Marie.
