 It’s nice to have the occasional good news, so can we offer congratulations on two events that were separated by days... yet also by 44 years! First up was Charlie, the grandson of Chairman Brian Rice and wife Brenda. He recently reached the magical milestone of |

thrown by mum and dad – Sam and Billy. Following just a few days behind was another party – this one thrown by Board member Mike Son and his wife Maxine, |
who celebrated with their own
magical milestone of 45 years wedded bliss. There’s an awfully big distance between the two celebrations, but both are magical milestones and worthy of inclusion. |

Every issue of Call Sign takes a look back at ODRTS history through the pages of the magazines of the time with a… DIAL-A-CAB FLASHBACK |

As this
issue talks about the current Editor’s 150th issue, Flashback
goes back to 1974 when there was another change in the hot seat
of Call Sign’s predecessor, News and Views... From News and Views – Christmas 1974 Welcome to a New Editor 
Taking over the pen from Joe Toff is not going to be easy as Joe
is a natural. Nevertheless, I wanted the job and now I have got
it, so it's up to me to continue the high standard. I have some
ideas to make the monthly Newsletter even more attractive, so do
me a favour, when you see the News Sheet in the front shop at
Shirland Road, take one, maybe your night man cannot get to the
office, so take one for him too. I shall inform you when the
edition is out (very professional, what!). Seriously, nothing is
more frustrating when work has gone into a project, but it is
not supported. Your contributions, letters, ideas,

will be most welcome. For my first News and Views, there seems to be plenty of goodies as we have had an exciting month. Items will include Board reports, 21st Anniversary Dinner and Ball, AGM report, Joint Board meeting (JBM) and thank you letters, etc. We have also gone to 8 pages, so I must get on. Joe Toff, as you know, took leave of absence from the BoM. A member at the AGM thought that more should have been done for Joe after his long service with the Society. Having heard the spontaneous ovation Joe received when he vacated the platform, I am convinced he got more pleasure than from having an organised reception. Any member leaving the Board, experiencing such acclaim, would be more than satisfied. Thank you, Joe, don't stray too far. On a personal note, may I thank you all for the magnificent vote you gave me at the AGM. Having been co-opted on by the Board in June, your support gave me an enormous boost. So read on.
