| Jennifer is back!!! (for 1 day)In the last newsletter we announced that Jennifer Taylor Moore and her family were moving back to New Zealand. They arrived in mid November and in December we were lucky enough to have Jennifer visit us in Auckland. She was here to hand over the UK reins to our Zoë, who is moving to London to take up the UK Systems Consultant position in February. Further news on this momentous move will follow in our March newsletter. While Jennifer was here we took the opportunity to thank her for her eight years of absolutely fantastic service. Thank you so much Jennifer! |

| It's (Another) Vernon ChristmasAt the end of November Vernonites past and present (as we always say here at Vernon "You can check out any time you like but you can never leave!!") met up at Alberton for an early Christmas celebration. The weather was just great and the setting was spectacular. Rendell McIntosh and his staff at Alberton helped to make our day one to remember. We thoroughly recommend investigating this as a potential venue for your next event. Check them out at www.alberton.co.nz. |  | Office Closures over the Christmas Period The Vernon Systems Auckland office will close at 3pm on Thursday 24th December and re-open at 8am on Tuesday 5th January.
