Check against delivery What a year we&rsquo;ve had. Last year we were saying farewell to Lesley Quinn. We all thought no one could step into her stilettos. But our new general secretary, Colin Smyth, has shown in the last year just how good he is. We sadly lost John McDougall to mesothelioma, far too soon.
