Despite financial constraints the Glasgow Congress was a success thanks to the great efforts of Kevan Wylie and the Local Organising Committee. The scientific programme was varied and of high quality, ensuring there were topics of interest for all our members and other delegates. It was particularly gratifying to share the enthusiasm of some of younger researchers and practitioners. We have had an increase in  the number of applications for membership post-Congress. As WAS members know, a number of proposed changes to the Statutes and By-Laws were ratified at the General Assembly, held during the Congress. Of note are the changes designed to strengthen the position and activities of key Committees; and the creation of a student member category. This action coupled with the newly constituted Youth Initiative Committee ensures that WAS is maintaining a modern outlook and is preparing our future leaders. The 2011 Statutes & By-Laws are available on our web page.We held our second, very successful, World Sexual Health Day on or around 4th September. 

You will find information elsewhere in the Newsletter. Suffice for me to say a big thank you to Esther Corona and to all those who so enthusiastically organised a variety of activities in their own cities and towns.
