We will be welcomed by Councillor Alan Skidmore, JP, the Mayor of Harrogate, whose note of welcome is reproduced below:-
"I am delighted to welcome all the members of the Catenian Association to Harrogate for the 2003 Annual Conference. I hope, in between your tight schedule of events, you will have a little leisure time to enjoy some of the pleasures our district has to offer and to sample some of our Yorkshire hospitality. May I wish you a successful conference.

Background music will be provided by the Spa Quintet.
