May I take the opportunity of wishing all EHEN Members and those who support the work and the philosophy of the Network a Happy New Year for 2006.

As is habitual at this time of year, I have been reflecting on the events of year just past. A year that started with the awful Tsunami and the fearsome loss of life that was inflicted on so many countries. Then of course there was Katrina, that so vividly demonstrated that the forces of nature can indeed wreck havoc even upon the richest nation on earth. Who would ever have imagined dead bodies floating in the streets of New Orleans or the gruesome scenes of near anarchy that prevailed in the main holding centres for those made homeless.

One of interesting perspectives that the start of any New Year inevitably brings is renewed expectations. Although 2005 was a year that brought with it many changes within the Network, it would be true to say that the expectations anticipated was not effectively fulfilled and some reflection is indeed demanded in order to understand and digest the effective reasons.

Three reasons can be pinpointed for the lack of fulfilment of the promises of 2005. These I would detail as:

1.            The unfulfilled promise of the EHEN Glasgow Conference.

2.            The difficult transition of the Chairmanship.

3.            Lack of support of the Copenhagen Conference.
