Opinion - Editorial
We have a packed programme in this issue and so my editorial will, thankfully, be short and to the point.
Adjudication
Those of you who are involved in the construction industry will be aware of the importance of this topic. Elsewhere in this issue you will find an update on the expected Government White Paper. You, like me, may not agree with all of the changes that may be recommended in this paper. It is up to us all to contribute to the debate and put forward our opinions on this topic. It is, frankly, too important for us not to become involved in this process. If you don't contribute then you can hardly complain if you don't like the changes.
Your contributions
Following my complaint in the last issue about lack of feedback from you, our readers, I was pleased to see that it did elicit some response. I would therefore like to welcome a new contributor to these pages, Kevin Trash, and thank him for his excellent contributions. I would also like to thank our regular contributors, Francis Miller, Peter Horne, Adrian Sturgeon, Robin Orme and Harvey Mason for their continued assistance.
However, the point that I made in my last editorial remains valid. I need contributions from you our regular readers to make this magazine work properly. It is especially important to receive such contributions from our more senior members who have a wealth of experience they could and should share with our newer members. The whole point of a learned society such as this Institute is to disseminate good practice amongst all of its members in order to drive up the standard of our profession.
After my last editorial an ex-editor of this magazine told me that it has always been a problem to get any reaction or contributions from our readers. He says that he used to resort to more and more outrageous editorials in order to try to provoke some comment. You have been warned ……..
