On behalf of the all the BESG staff I would like to wish you all a very happy holiday and season’s greetings. Thank you for all your support and good wishes.

CHOIR AT SHERATON LOBBY

We all enjoyed singing along to Christmas and New Year songs in the Sheraton. Thank you to all who participated!

HEALTH NEWS

I would like to let everyone know that due to health problems of my family in England, I will be away on a period of extended leave until the summer.

I would like to wish all families who will not be here on my return my very best wishes. I will miss the BESG, embassy and all of you greatly. My own children had a wonderful education and happy memories here and I hope it will be the same for all of you.

I wish everyone else a Happy Bayram, Christmas and New Year or whatever you may be celebrating at this time of year and hope to see you later in 2008.

Mrs Akyurek will keep parents informed of any nursing cover that may be arranged during this period.

Best wishes
Glynis Ozcan (Nurse Glynis)
