A short message from Lady Torpy to AALA members on that day I was delighted to welcome the AALA to Hornton Street, it was a lovely warm and sunny spring day and the ladies were beautifully dressed to make the most of the weather. This was my last opportunity to host an event for the AALA and I would like to reiterate my thanks to you all for the welcome and support I have received from the AALA during the past three years. I wish you all and the association many happy times and every success for the future.
