@PC_Bain @indexers @PC_Bain @indexers Congratulations Paula, so pleased to see you taking up these roles. Good luck with it all 🙂.

@indexers Very honoured to have received this, alongside much respected fellow recipicients Ann Hudson and Ann Kingdom.

@PC_Bain @indexers @alanconnor @BoatmanCryptics @RaiderCrossword A wonderfully intriguing and entertaining talk! This has got me thinking about exploring cryptic crosswords and how to solve them - something that has eluded me in the past - perhaps I could learn...

[Jan Worrall @JanWorrall]

Interesting sessions led by @indexellis at #SIConf23 yesterday on working with trade publishers and indexing childrens books. Thanks Ruth!

[Jan Worrall @JanWorrall]

Excellent demonstration at the #SIConf23 by @tanya_izzard on how to use Index-Manager. Brilliantly organised and presented - it really enhanced my understanding and made me enthusiastic to do more embedded indexing. Great handouts too - many thanks Tanya!

[Jan Worrall @JanWorrall]

Me too! Can't wait to meet up with indexing friends and colleagues again after such an age!

Great news that our Society of Indexers Chair is now also a Fellow of the Society

Very pleased to announce that I am now a Fellow of the Society of Indexers. @indexers recognises contributions to the running of the society and commitment to professional development. The self-evaluation exercise is one I would recommend any indexer to do.
