6NADFAS REVIEW / WINTER 2010www.nadfas.org.ukNEWSOn page 64 of the autumn issue of NADFAS Reviewwe mistakenly published a photograph of the Garrick Clubnext to a story about the Celebrating Surreyarts festival at Loseley Park.I was saddened to learn ofShuna Cronin's death in the last issue of NADFAS Review,but the news also evoked verymany happy memories of my travels - both nationally and internationally -withNADFAS Tours. I embarked on my very firstNADFAS Tour in December1977, destination: Moscow. I can't honestly rememberwhether or not Shuna wasactually with us on thatparticular occasion, but the tourcertainly bore her stamp ofmeticulous planning andattention to detail. Over the years, other holidaysfollowed, one of the highlightsbeing the 1983 NADFAS 15th-Anniversary Tour to Venice onthe Orient Express in thecompany of our then President,Sir Trenchard Cox. My travels continue and Ihope to visit Krakow with newlyinaugurated Oxford DFAS in theSpring of 2011.Kathryn HopkinsFormerly of WODFAS andVADFAS, currently of OxfordDFASTourmemoriesNADFAS is now registered with JustGiving(www.justgiving.com/nadfas) which enables onlinefundraising.
