For all members that have not renewed their memebership yet for 2013, please do so asap to avoid any interruption/delay in access to Food Quality and Preference. Note again that we have added a new member category which offers membership without access to the journal at a substantially reduced rate.

I would like to take the opportunity to bring the International Year of Statistics 2013 to your attention: http://www.statistics2013.org/

Last but not least, I would like to express my thanks to all members that helped us throughout the year in different aspects to run the society matters and to enhance the benefits we can offer today.

I hope you'll all have a great Christmas break, and wish you all the best for 2013,

Michael
