According to the figures published on this page at http://www.aireunion2013.org/ a large number of delegates from Australia/NZ are expected in Kolkata for the January 2013 meet. 736 as on November 25, 2012. Canada will send 154 delegates, 553 from India, U.K. 361, USA 84, and Rest of the World 62. The numbers might have gone up since then. If any of our List members are going to be there, may we request them to send us detailed reports and reviews? In the meantime, here is something nice: Anglo-Indian Stories Mr Noel Thomas Part 1 of 3 & Nigel Foote from the Anglo-Indian Heritage Centre. 2009, recorded in Melbourne. I of a 3part series where Nigel interviews Noel. They talk about Noel's life in Anglo-India and his family, work and his school days. But it is not just nostalgia....there are many insights into Anglo-Indian history and the time around India's independence. Noel has a wonderful ability to voice what it was like to be an A-I back then and tells us who was representing the A-I community. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f645F6n7d7Q ---- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar
