At our traditional Christmas event we were pleased to have John R Goodlad as our end-of-year speaker. In this special lecture, John took his lead from the Ian Drury and the Blockheads song “Reasons to be Cheerful” expanded on what is going right in the world as we enter 2022. John reflected on noteworthy positive developments to show that it is not all darkness and gloom when it comes to international relations.
