Journeys: ACOR Residents' Social Club

At the risk of sounding pretentious, I unilaterally declared myself the President of the newly formed, unconsitutional, completely unrepresentative, and pretty silly, ACOR Residents' Social Club. Rose offered to be Secretary, due to her several year's experience in administration. We then inducted other residents into the Club, allowing everyone to choose their own office.

Since both Rose and I will shortly be moving out of ACOR - she has a flat in Shmeisani, and will probably be there for months, as she has an offer with the ICMC working with Iraqi refugees, and I'll be moving around the corner to Bateel Serviced Apartments with the family when we get back from Damascus, before heading to Pella, I thought I should place on record the office holders of the ARSC (there is no Treasurer as we are an egalitarian outfit, each paying her or his own way):

Graciously agreeing to be our Patron, Dr Barbara Porter, Director, ACOR
